Abstract
Polymeric and monomeric V(V) chiral salen complexes-catalyzed enantioselective ethyl cyanoformylation of aldehydes using ethyl cyanoformate as a source of cyanide was accomplished in the presence of several basic cocatalysts viz., NaOH, KOH, basic Al2O3 and hydrotalcite. Excellent yield (>95%) of chiral ethyl cyanohydrincarbonate with high enantioselectivity up to 94% was achieved in 24-36 h when hydrotalcite was used as an additive. The polymeric catalyst 1 is more reactive than the monomeric catalyst 2 to produce chiral ethyl cyanohydrincarbonate in high optical purity. The chiral polymeric catalyst 1 and cocatalysts hydrotalcite and basic alumina used in this study were recoverable and recyclable several times with retention of its performance.
