Enzymatic preparation of optically active cyanohydrin acetates

Abstract

A series of cyanohydrin acetates (1)–(47) of widely varying structures, potential chiral building blocks for numerous synthetic applications, has been prepared in good chemical and often high optical yields by enzymatic hydrolysis of their racemic acetates in the presence of an ester hydrolase from Pseudomonas sp.
