Proposed reaction network for the synthesis of amino acid precursors via the dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic aminonitriles. The network is shown for reaction of a generic aminonitrile AM-I mediated by d-lyxose. Shaded area highlights the enantioselective pathway forming a reservoir of the major cyclic intermediate CYCmaj that effectively channels both enantiomers of the aminonitrile toward the aminoamide l-AM-II, the natural enantiomer of its corresponding amino acid.
