CATALYTIC CARBOHYDRATES FOR STRECKER REACTION

摘要

A material that catalyzes an environmentally friendly strecker reaction is provided, and a method for producing alpha-aminonitrile using the material that catalyzes the environmentally friendly strecker reaction is provided. A carbohydrate catalyst catalyzing a strecker reaction is a compound represented by the following formula A or B. R1 and R2 of the compound of the formula B are a hydroxyl group(-OH) or a succinyl group. The R1 of the compound of the formula B is the hydroxyl group(-OH), and the R2 of the compound of the formula B is the succinyl group. A matrix of the strecker reaction in which the catalyst engages is malonaldehyde bis(phenylimine), N-benzylidene benzene sulfoneamine, or N-benzylidene-N-(diphenylmethyl)amine. The compound of the formula A is derived from X. oryzae pv. oryzae KACC 10331. The compound of the formula B is derived from Rhizobium meliloti 1021(ATCC 51124).
