In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called Chemoenzymatic production of 1,5-dimethyl-2-piperidone, published in 2001-01-22, which mentions a compound: 4553-62-2, mainly applied to chemoenzymic dimethylpiperidone synthesis, Synthetic Route of C6H8N2.
A chemoenzymic process for the preparation of 1,5-dimethyl-2-piperidone (1,5-DMPD) from 2-methylglutaronitrile (MGN) has been demonstrated. MGN was first hydrolyzed to 4-cyanopentanoic acid (4-CPA) ammonium salt using the nitrilase activity of immobilized Acidovorax facilis 72W cells. The hydrolysis reaction produced 4-CPA ammonium salt with greater than 98% regioselectivity at 100% conversion, and at concentrations of 170-210 g 4-CPA/l. Catalyst productivities of at least 1000 g 4-CPA/g dry cell weight (dcw) of immobilized cells were achieved by recycling the immobilized-cell catalyst in consecutive stirred-batch reactions. After recovery of the immobilized cell catalyst for reuse, the 4-CPA ammonium salt in the aqueous product mixture was directly converted to 1,5-DMPD by low-pressure catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of added methylamine.
In addition to the literature in the link below, there is a lot of literature about this compound(2-Methylglutaronitrile)Synthetic Route of C6H8N2, illustrating the importance and wide applicability of this compound(4553-62-2).
