75. With 1 equiv. of HCN in the absence of chiral N,N′-dioxides, the reaction gave traces of product after 24 h; and with 2 equiv. of HCN under the same conditions, the product was obtained in 39% yield after 30 h.

79. We found that TMSCN could act as another effective cyanide source in the presence of chiral N,N′-dioxide 2 and that the reaction with use of TMSCN instead of HCN at 0 °C afforded the product in better yield with similar enantioselectivity.
