Page/Page column 40; 42, (2010/09/03)
The present invention relates to titanium catalysts for synthesis reactions produced by bringing a reaction mixture comprising a titanium alkoxide and a ligand in contact with water, wherein the ligand is represented by the general formula (e), wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or the like, and (A) represents a group with two or more carbon atoms. The titanium catalysts may be isolated in solid form and may be stored. The invention further relates to a process for cyanation of imines, wherein the process comprises reacting an imine with a cyanating agent in the presence of the titanium catalyst.

(Figure presented) A highly active and enantioselective titanium-catalyzed cyanatlon of imines at room temperature Is described. The catalyst used Is a partially hydrolyzed titanium alkoxide (PHTA) precatalyst together with a readily available N-salicyl-β-aminoalcohol ligand. Up to 98% ee was obtained with quantitative yields In 15 min of reaction time using 5 mol % of the catalyst. Various N-protecting groups such as benzyl, benzhydryl, Boc, and PMP are tolerated.
