The enantioselective, electrophilic cyanation of the enolates of 2-substituted 1-tetralones 3 is described. Enantiomerically pure 2-cyanato-1,1′-binaphthyl derivatives 2, 6a and b are used as cyanating agents. The influence of solvent, temperature, additives and the method of enolate formation are investigated. Best results are obtained with 48% ee in the case of compound 2 and 60% ee in the case of compound 6b if the enolate is prepared from the corresponding silyl enol ether 7 and Toluene is used as solvent.
