Eight nitrile substrates were prepared through the .-alkylation of heterocycles (2-pyrrolidinone, 2-piperidinone, 2-oxopiperazine and 1-methylpiperazine) directly from hydroxyl group of ethyl and phenyl α-hydroxynitriles with yield of 35−71% after 12 h. Twenty nitrile hydratases (NHases) were screened and showed that the .-derivatives lactam substrates led to their correspondent amides by Co-type NHase with conversion and enantiomeric excess of up to 47.5 and 52.3% for (.)-enantiomer, while the piperazine substrates underwent spontaneous decomposition by retro-Strecker reaction. In order to avoid a retro-Strecker reaction of α-aminonitriles, ionic liquids and polyethylene glycol (PEG400) were evaluated as alternative green solvents to aqueous buffered solutions in different proportions. Temperature was another parameter investigated during reaction-medium engineering for process optimization. However, unconventional reaction media and low temperature significantly reduced the NHase activity. The absolute configuration of α-.-heterocyclic ethyl- and phenylacetamides, some of which were new compounds, was determined using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy. Additionally, their potential as cholinesterase’s inhibitors was evaluated. 2022 artículo científico 0100-4670 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42970797002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42970797002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42970797002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42970797002/42970797002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/429/42970797002/movil https://doi.org/10.26850/1678-4618eqj.v47.2.2022.p17-35 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=429 Eclética Química application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho Eclética Química (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.47
