The invention proposes a solution for a novel ski binding system, which sets for ski touring as well as telemarking new benchmarks in terms of comfort and safety. Thereby it fulfills the requirements of two different forms of skiing in an entirely original form and opens up completely novel applications. Due to its modular design new ways of marketing the system can be introduced while an efficient production can be realized.

Enantiomerically pure N-acyl-a-aminonitriles gained these days interest in the pharmaceutical industry since a range of recently developed pharmaceuticals are based on this product class. Prominent examples are Vildagliptin®, Saxagliptin® or NVP-DPP-728, which are active pharmaceutical ingredients against diabetes type II and at least two of them are successful already on the market. The described technology enables a safe, fast and competitive chemical production of specific N-acyl-a-aminonitriles or N-sulfonyl-a-aminonitriles, serving as intermediates for the synthesis of, e.g., Vildagliptin®.
