Immobilized hydroxynitrile lyases for enantioselective synthesis of cyanohydrins: Sol-gels and cross-linked enzyme aggregates

The hydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs) from Prunus amygdalus (paHNL), Manihot esculenta (MeHNL), and Hevea brasiliensis (HbHNL) were successfully immobilized in sol-gels. The cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) of HbHNL was also prepared. These immobilized enzymes and the commercial PaHNL- and MeHNL-CLEAs were employed for the enantioselective synthesis of cyanohydrins. The sol-gels were highly efficient at low catalyst loading and particularly stable towards the organic solvent (diisopropyl ether) and substrate/product deactivation. The stabilization effect was inconsistent for CLEAs of different HNLs and significant deactivation of PaHNL- and HbHNL-CLEAs in diisopropyl ether was observed. In contrast commercial MeHNL-CLEA proved to be a remarkably robust and efficient biocatalyst in diisopropyl ether.

Reductive Coupling of Benzoyl Cyanide and Carbonyl Compounds by Aqueous Ti(III) Ions. A New Convenient and Selective Access to the Less Stable Mixed Benzoins

The reactive species formed by the Ti(III) ion reduction of benzoyl cyanide (1) adds to the C-atom of carbonyl compounds 2 under simple experimental conditions.The intermediate 1,2-diols 3 are smoothly converted, without isolation, into the less thermodynamically stable mixed benzoins 4, which are not accessible by the classical benzoin condensation.The possible mechanisms involved in the reaction are discussed.
