position of the aromatic ring.
The in situ-formed titanium complexes bearing pyrrolidine-
based chiral salen ligands derived from natural L-tartaric acid
were evaluated as catalysts in the reaction of aromatic aldehydes
(Scheme 7).11 The catalysts with N-benzyl and N-cyclohexyl
pyrrolidine ligands showed higher activity and selectivity.

Chiral β-Aminoalcohol−Titanium Catalyst (CH3)3SiCN could be placed in a more favorable position to
react with the aldehyde. Cyanosilylation of aromatic, aliphatic,
and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with this catalyst afforded the
products in excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
A bimetallic (salen)aluminum catalyst in the presence of a
phosphine oxide cocatalyst reported by North and co-workers

Catalyzed by Titanium Complex with Chiral Amide Ligand (3-none-2-one: 95%; 2-nonanone: 86%) was noteworthy. The
chiral ligand had the benefits of being readily prepared and
easily modified.
Feng and co-workers utilized a bifunctional catalyst system
composed of a chiral (salen)aluminum complex and an achiral

ketones, 1000 for aliphatic ones) (Scheme 27).32 A wide range

Very recently, they developed an improved ternary catalyst
system for cyanosilylation of ketones consisting of (salen)-
aluminum chloride (10 mol %), phosphorane (10 mol %), and
triphenyl phosphine oxide (50 mol %) through mechanistic
studies on the above tandem reaction (Scheme 28).33b This
catalyst system succeeded in the achievement, for the first time,
of excellent enantioselectivity up to 95% in the reaction of
linear aliphatic ketones and α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated ketones. They
proposed a reaction mechanism according to their experimental

aliphatic substrates. The reaction was proposed to proceed
through a cyclic transition state in which the chiral lithium
phosphate interacts with both ketone and (CH3)3SiCN. The
direction of ketonic substrate is controlled in a manner that
diminishes steric repulsion toward the phenyl group on the
BINOL skeleton.
Ohkuma and co-workers demonstrated that the ruthenium
complex−lithium phenoxide systems efficiently catalyzed
enantioselective cyanosilylation of various ketones, such as Scheme 33. Asymmetric Cyanosilylation of Ketones with

cyanosilylation of dialkoxy ketones and α-alkoxy ketones, the

best catalyst performance to produce the cyanohydrin
