Chiral dimeric vanadium (V) salen complex (10 mol%) derived from 5,5-Methylene di-[(S,S)-{N-(3-tert-butyl salicylidine)-N′-(3′,5′-di-tert-butyl salicylidene)]-1,2-cyclohexanediamine] with vanadyl suphate followed by auto oxidation was used as efficient catalyst for enantioselective Strecker reaction of N-benzylimines with TMSCN at -30 °C. Excellent yield (92%) of α-aminonitrile and high chiral induction was achieved (ee up to 94%) in case of 2-methoxy substituted N-benzylimines in 10 h. The catalytic system worked well up to four cycles with retention of enantioselectivity.

A convenient scaleable process for the preparation of substituted phenylglycines 2 by a modified Strecker reaction is described. Bisulfite- mediated addition of benzylamine and cyanide anion to substituted benzaldehydes 3 gave the aminonitriles 4 which were hydrolysed in two steps to the N-protected amino acid 1. Debenzylation using catalytic transfer hydrogenation gave the title compounds in good yield.
