The present Letter details our findings on the lipase-catalyzed Michael reactions between primary or secondary amines and acrylonitrile. Several lipases were evaluated, and good results were obtained leading to the formation of Michael adducts in shorter reaction times than the uncatalyzed reactions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
