Zh. Yang et al., Asymmetric trimethylsilylcyanation of aldehydes catalyzed by chiral Schiffbase-Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(4) complex, SYN COMMUN, 31(19), 2001, pp. 3031-3036
A new chiral Schiff base 4 was synthesized, which was found to be efficient
catalyst for the enantio selective silylcyanation of aldehydes. The enanti
oselectivities of 25.1-72.7% were obtained by using the chiral Schiff base-
Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(4) complex.
