Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with nitroso compounds and furnishes N ‐arylhydroxamic acids in high yields. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine‐carbanion‐like intermediates prior to their reaction with nitroso compounds. The kinetic resolution of rac ‐2‐hydroxy‐1,2‐diphenylethanones furnished ( S )‐benzoins and arylhydroxamic acids with high enantioselectivities and conversions.
