Catalytic asymmetric Strecker hydrocyanation of imines using Yb(OTf)3–pybox catalysts

Abstract

We have explored the highly enantioselective Strecker hydrocyanation of a wide range of aromatic, α,β-unsaturated, heterocyclic, and aliphatic aldimines with good to excellent conversions and ees up to 98% in the presence of catalytic amounts of Yb(OTf)3–pybox complexes.
