Abstract
A process for the preparation of five-membered or six-membered ring lactams from aliphatic α,φ-dinitriles has been developed. In the process an aliphatic α,φ-dinitrile is first converted to an ammonium salt of an φ-nitrilecarboxylic acid in aqueous solution using a catalyst having an aliphatic nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.7) activity, or a combination of nitrile hydratase (EC 4.2.1.84) and amidase (EC 3.5.1.4) activities. The ammonium salt of the φ-nitrilecarboxylic acid is then converted directly to the corresponding lactam by hydrogenation in aqueous solution, without isolation of the intermediate φ-nitrilecarboxylic acid or φ-aminocarboxylic acid. When the aliphatic α,φ-dinitrile is also unsymmetrically substituted at the α-carbon atom, the nitrilase produces the φ-nitrilecarboxylic acid ammonium salt resulting from hydrolysis of the φ-nitrile group with greater than 98 % regioselectivity, thereby producing only one of the two possible lactam products during the subsequent hydrogenation. A heat-treatment process to select for desirable regioselective nitrilase or nitrile hydratase activities while destroying undesirable activities is also provided.
Claims

61 STATEMENT UNDER ARTICLE 19
Applicants have amended Claims 2, 13 and 14 to properly describe the scope of the formula for the aliphatic α,ω-dinitrile as including alkylidenes and substituted alkylidenes. Support for this amendment is found in Example 18 where 2-methyleneglutaronitrile
CH2
I NC-C-CH2-CH2-CN
containing the CH2 branch (an alkylidene group, as defined in Claim 2) is taken to 4-cyano-4-pentenoic acid. The same reaction is described at page 9 of the specification and listed as part of Table 1. In the interest of full disclosure, attention is drawn to the fact that no working example of a substituted alkylidene iε found in the case. However, the original scope included substituted groups and substituted alkylidenes are reasonably part of the subject matter of the invention.
Additionally, Claims 2, 13 and 14 have been amended to use the commonly accepted nonenclature "alkyl or substituted alkyl" to replace the original phrase "unsubstituted or substituted alkyl". This format is also applied to the alkenyl and alkylidene groups .
