[reaction: see text]. The effect of replacing the Bronsted acid in classic Passerini reactions with a mild Lewis acid has been studied. Triggered by metal-promoted silylation, condensations of aliphatic or aromatic carbonyl compounds with appropriately su

The adducts obtained from TiCl4 and achiral (8-12) or chiral, nonracemic (13-22) isocyanides are combined with aldehydes (aromatic or aliphatic) and ketones (acetone, cyclohexanone, acetophenone) to give, after aqueous workup, α-hydroxyamides (27-55) .The transformation is compatible with a variety of functional groups (aromatic and heterocyclic rings, amino, ether, ester, and amido groups, halides, and phosphonate substituents).The yields range from 14 to over 95percent (with the lower values in the case of more highly functionalised isocyanides).No diastereoselectivity is observed with chiral isocyanides.If the R groups of the isocyanide (R-NC) form a rather stable cation (t-alkyl or benzylic), cyanohydrins may result from the reaction, rather than the N-substituted α-hydroxyamides (see Scheme 2).
