Abstract

The hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) activity of nine defatted Prunus seeds was compared for catalyzing the addition of HCN to aromatic, heteroaromatic and α,β- unsaturated aldehydes. Although the conversion and enantiomeric excess (ee) of the corresponding cyanohydrins were both influenced by the HNL source and the chemical structure of the aldehyde, Prunus HNLs were all suitable for the enantioselective preparation of cyanohydrins.
