Abstract

A new approach to optically active β‐alkyl‐α‐methylene‐δ‐butyrolactone derivatives was reported from the Rhodococcus sp. AJ270‐catalyzed hydrolysis of appropriate nitriles. The inversion of enantioselectivity of the amidase has been observed when a methyl protection was introduced into the hydroxy group of the parent substrate.
