Abstract
The asymmetric hydrocyanation of pyrrole-2-and-3-carboxaldehydes substituted with either methyl, benzyl or phenyl in the 1-position catalyzed by the hydroxynitrile lyases from Hevea brasiliensis (HbHNL) and Prunus amygdalus (PaHNL) is reported. The products could be isolated—after O-silylation—with moderate to good enantiomeric purity although the carbonyl activity of the substrates was found to be very low, which is supported by ...
