Abstract

Abstract A one-pot chemo-enzymatic synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched O- acetylcyanohydrins has been developed. The bimetallic (salen) titanium complex 1 is used to convert aldehydes into nonracemic (R)-O-acetylcyanohydrins with 61 to 93% enantiomeric excess. A lipase enzyme is then used to hydrolyse the unwanted (S) enantiomer of the product, leaving (R)-O-acetylcyanohydrins with 80 to> 99% ...
