REFERENCES

• Reagent for the formation of O-TMS cyanohydrins from carbonyl compounds.
• The ZnI₂-catalyzed procedure allows cyanohydrins of unreactive ketones to be prepared in good yield, avoiding the unfavourable equilibria often encountered with the classical alkali cyanide method. For details and list of examples, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 7, 20 (1990). Other catalysts including Et₃N or Bu₃P are also effective: Chem. Lett., 537, 541 (1991). For catalysis by Methyl triphenylphosphonium iodide, A15644, see: Tetrahedron Lett., 44, 6157 (2003). In the absence of a catalyst, aldehydes have been found to give good yields of the TMS cyanohydrin, but reaction with ketones is very slow: J. Chem. Soc., Perkin 1, 2383 (1995). For use of Tetracyanoethylene, A13945, as a c-acid catalyst for both aldehydes and ketones, see: J. Chem. Soc., Perkin 1, 2155 (1995).

Coll., 7, 294 (1990). In the presence of Ag salts (AgClO₄, AgBF₄ or AgOTf), alkenes can be converted to isocyanides in Markovnikov fashion: Synlett, 288 (1999).
