Substrates and Products (Substrate)

Substrates Comment Substrates Organism Products Comment (Products) Rev. Reac.
2-heptanone + HCN needs long reaction time (26 h), providing low enantiomeric exess (14%), which supports the fact that methyl ketones of long aliphatic chain are poor substrates Chaenomeles speciosa (R)-2-heptanone cyanohydrin

?
HCN + acetophenone
