The Lewis acid mediated cyanohydrin-forming addition of Me3SiCN to optically active α-dibenzylamino aldehydes 2 occurs stereoselectively.Chelation controlled adducts 3 result if MgBr2 or TiCl4 is used, whereas the diastereomers 4 are obtained upon employi
Stereoselective cyanation of chiral α-amino aldehydes by reaction with Nagata's reagent: A route to enantiopure β-amino-α-hydroxy acids

Chiral α-dibenzylamino aldehydes react with diethylaluminum cyanide leading to anti-β-dibenzylamino-α-hydroxycyanides as the major diastereoisomers in good yields and diastereomeric excesses. Hydrolysis of the nitrile derivatives allows the synthesis of enantiopure β-amino-α-hydroxy acids.
