Abstract
Catalyzed by Rhodococcus sp. AJ270, a nitrile hydratase and amidase containing microbial whole-cell catalyst, under very mild conditions, a number of racemic α-methylamino amides were resolved into the corresponding optically active (S)-(+)-α-methylamino acids and (R)- (−)-α-methylamino amides. The steric requirement of the amidase against α-amino phenylacetamides bearing methyl group (s) at α-amino nitrogen and/or α-carbon was also ...
