Example 2, (2010/01/30)
An aldehyde compound is reacted with an amino compound and hydrogen cyanate in the presence of a chiral zirconium catalyst obtained by mixing a zirconium alkoxide with an optically active binaphthol compound.

Strecker reactions of aldimines with Bu3SnCN in the presence of the novel chiral zirconium binuclear catalyst 1 provide α-aminonitriles in good yields and with high enantioselectivities. The reaction can be applied to a wide range of substrates. Since both enantiomers of the choral sources are readily available, both enantiomers of the α-aminonitriles are easily prepared according to this method. L = N-methylimidazole.
