Abstract

Reaction of benzaldehyde with ethyl cyanoformate in the presence of Lewis acidic Ti(IV) complexes of bispyridylamide or salen ligands and Lewis basic amines affords the O-alkoxycarbonylated cyanohydrin. In the presence of the salen-based catalytic system, acetyl cyanide can also be added to benzaldehyde, providing a highly enantioselective direct route to the O-acetylated cyanohydrin.
