Asymmetric counteranion-directed Lewis acid organocatalysis for the scalable cyanosilylation of aldehydes
Asymmetric cyanosilyation is a powerful method to convert carbonyls to chiral, configurationally stable cyanohydrins. Here, the authors report a catalyst capable of carrying out this reaction on large scales with extremely low catalyst loading, and also identify and explain a dormant period in the c...
