Chiral bisformamides as effective organocatalysts for the asymmetric one-pot, three-component strecker reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo701307f

(Chemical Equation Presented) C₂-symmetric chiral bisformamides have been shown to catalyze the asymmetric one-pot, three-component Strecker reaction, which produced the α-amino nitriles in excellent yields (up to 99%) with good enantioselectiv
