3-Cyanopyridine → Nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Cyanopyridine was added at different concentrations (3.1-800 mM; 0.500 ml) to a solution comprising nitrile hydratase solution (0.0697 μmol/min; 0.025 ml) and 15 potassium phosphate buffer (0.1 M; pH 7.0; 0.475 ml). The reaction mixture was incubated at 20° C. for 10 min. The reaction was stopped by adding methanol and the amount of nicotinamide produced was determined by means of HPLC according to Example 1.
