Abstract
The room temperature addition of trimethylsilylcyanide to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to give the corresponding cyanohydrins is efficiently catalysed by 1 mol% of ((2,6-bis( N-cyclohexyl)imino)phenyl)aquoplatinum(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate 1a . This methodology is also applicable to the addition of trimethylsilylcyanide to Schiff bases resulting in the formation of α-amino nitriles.
