Abstract

Aryl imines, derived in situ from aldehydes and amines, smoothly undergo addition with trimethylsilyl cyanide in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquids under mild and neutral reaction conditions to afford the corresponding α-aminonitriles in excellent yields. The ionic liquids can be recycled in five to six runs without any apparent loss of activity.
