Abstract
In the presence of AlCl 3 , trimethylsilyl cyanide underwent 1,4- and subsequent 1,2-additions with α,β-unsaturated imines to give 2-aminopentanedinitriles in good yields. An asymmetric version of this type of bis-cyanation was successfully conducted using a chiral α,β-unsaturated imine possessing a phenylglycinol derivative as a chiral auxiliary.
