Bismuth bromide was found to work efficiently as a versatile catalyst for the cyanation and allylation of carbonyl compounds and acetals with organosilicon reagents, affording the corresponding alcohols and ethers in high yields.

Cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds provides protected cyanohydrins, which can be converted into many kinds of compounds such as amino alcohols, amides, esters, and carboxylic acids. In particular, the use of trimethylsilyl cyanide as the sole carbon source can avoid the need for more toxic inorganic cyanides. In this paper, we describe an electrochemically initiated cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds and its application to a microflow reactor. Furthermore, to identify suitable reaction conditions, which reflect considerations beyond simply a high yield, we demonstrate machine learning-assisted optimization. Machine learning can be used to adjust the current and flow rate at the same time and identify the conditions needed to achieve the best productivity.

6,6'-Bis(methylaminosulfonyl)-7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (3) catalyzes (5-10 mol-%) the addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to aldehydes (aryl, alkyl, and α,β-unsaturated; 42-92 % yields), ketones (aryl alkyl, dialkyl; 22-82 % yields), and N-benzylaldimines (14-78 % yields) in toluene (0 °C or room temp.) to give the expected cyanohydrin and Strecker adducts following desilylation. Among a series of closely related compounds lacking any one of their defining structural features, bis-sulfonamide 3 and its N,N'-dimethyl derivative are exceptional in catalyzing the silylcyanation of benzaldehyde in the absence of all other additives. Hammett analysis of the competitive silylcyanation of para-substituted benzaldehydes catalyzed by 3 showed a linear free-energy relationship (R2 = 0.928) with a modest positive reaction constant (ρ = +1.52). X-ray diffraction analysis of (±)-3 indicated a cisoid biaryl conformation and the existence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between C7'-OH and C7-O. Resolution of (±)-3 was achieved by HPLC separation of its tetravalerate derivative on a chiral stationary phase. The absolute configurations of the optical isomers of 3 were assigned by correlation of the ECD spectra with those of related biquinolyls of known configuration. The silylcyanation of aldehydes catalyzed by (-)-(aR)-3 leads to cyanohydrins with a preference for the (S)-configured product with an ee of 10 %. The organocatalytic action of 3 is ascribed to hydrogen bonding and Bronsted acid catalysis effects that are dependent on its acidifying sulfonamide groups, general base capability, and interannular proximity effects made possible by the biaryl structure.
