Abstract

A new chiral cyclic o-hydroxynaphthylphosphonodi­amide (+)-2 was synthesized starting from (+)-cis-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine. The absolute configuration of phos-phorus atom was determined as S by X-ray diffraction analysis. ­Excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98.3% ee) was achieved in asymmetric silylcyanation of aromatic aldehydes using a chiral titanium complex prepared in situ from Ti(Oi-Pr)4 and (+)-2 as the catalyst.
