Popis: | The addition of cyanide with Me 2 Si(CN) 2 to β-hydroxyketones (R 1 CHOH-COR 2 , R 1 = R 2 = alkyl) took place with high diastereoselectivity ( > 95% d.e.) and reasonable overall isolated yield (60%). The syn configuration of the produced β-hydroxycyanohydrin seems compatible only with intermolecular addition of CN, through a chair-like six-membered transition state. |
