The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Cyanide ion cocatalysis in Ti(salen) catalysed asymmetric cyanohydrin carbonate synthesis

Abstract

In the presence of potassium cyanide or the potassium cyanide/18-crown-6 complex as a cocatalyst, 1-2 mol% of titanium(salen) complex 1 catalyses the asymmetric addition of achiral cyanoformates to aldehydes, giving cyanohydrin carbonates with high enantiomeric excesses; and catalyses the diastereoselective addition of chiral cyanoformates derived from α-methylbenzyl alcohol to aldehydes, a reaction which exhibits double asymmetric induction. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.
