Abstract
In a chemoenzymatic one-pot reaction of ethyl cyanoformate with benzaldehyde catalyzed by the hydroxynitrile lyase from Prunus amygdalus ethoxycarbonylated (R)-mandelonitrile is formed in a highly enatioselective manner. The reaction was performed both in aqueous and organic media. 1H NMR investigations revealed a two-step procedure consisting of an enzyme-catalyzed addition of HCN, generated by hydrolysis of ethyl cyanoformate, to the aldehyde followed by ethoxycarbonylation of the free cyanohydrin in a second step
