Abstract
Abstract Enantioselective biotransformations of racemic trans -2-arylcyclopropanecarbonitriles catalyzed by Rhodococcus sp. AJ270 cells proceeded efficiently to give good to excellent optical yields of (−)-(1 R ,2 R )-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxamides and (+)-(1 S ,2 S )-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids, which were converted into optically active cyclopropylmethylamine and cyclopropylamine derivatives upon reduction and the Curtius rearrangement.
