General description

N-Cyclohexylformamide binds to the complex of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase with NADH and is similar to the Michaelis complex for aldehyde reduction catalyzed by the enzyme. It is formed during hydration of cyclohexyl isocyanide catalyzed by a novel enzyme isonitrile hydratase from Pseudomonas putida N19-2 .

Application

N-Cyclohexylformamide was used in the synthesis of 2-methylidene-1,3-selenazolidine derivatives.
