Abstract

A three-component efficient procedure is described for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles containing bis(trimethylsilyl)ethenyl groups from 4-[2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethenyl]benzaldehyde (1), aromatic amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN). Reactions have been studied in the presence of various Lewis acids as catalysts or in ionic liquids under mild conditions. Compound (1) was obtained via Peterson olefination of terephthaldehyde with tris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium, (Me3Si)3CLi, in THF at 0 °C.
