Asymmetric trimethylsilylcyanation of benzaldehyde catalyzed by novel Ti(IV)-chiral Schiff base complexes

Benzaldehyde has been trimethylsilylcyanated with a catalyst prepared in situ from titanium tetraisopropoxide and chiral Schiff bases. Cyanohydrin is obtained in high optical yield (up to 67.5%).
