Abstract
AbstractThis review surveys the recent developments in enantioselective titanium‐catalyzed cyanation reactions of carbonyl compounds, covering the literature since the beginning of 2008. It well demonstrates that this reaction constitutes an important tool in organic synthesis, still attracting a considerable interest due to the potential use of enantiopure cyanohydrins as natural products and useful synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
