Enzymatic hydrolysis of nitrites and dinitriles
Abstract
An immobilized enzyme system derived from Rhodococcus sp. catalyses under neutral conditions the hydrolysis of nitriles (1)–(6) and dinitriles (7) and (8) into the corresponding acids (1a)–(6a) and monocyano carboxylic acids (7a) and (8a), respectively.
