Perfectly Green Organocatalysis: Quaternary Ammonium Base Triggered Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes
Quaternary ammonium bases, such as aqueous (CH3)4NOH, were found to be an extraordinarily efficient cata-lyst for cyanosilylation of aldehydes. The addition reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to equivalent alde-hydes could proceed smoothly with turnover frequency (TOF) up to 3000000 h l and...

| Summary: | Quaternary ammonium bases, such as aqueous (CH3)4NOH, were found to be an extraordinarily efficient cata-lyst for cyanosilylation of aldehydes. The addition reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to equivalent alde-hydes could proceed smoothly with turnover frequency (TOF) up to 3000000 h l and in near 100% yield under solvent-free conditions. These organic catalysts also tolerated various aldehydes including aromatic, aliphatic and a,fl-unsaturated aldehydes. This process perfectly conforms to the features of green chemistry: no waste regarding side-products and unconverted reactants, solvent-free, excellent catalytic activity, and no requirement for separa- tion. |
