47. N-Boc-, N-tosyl-, N-phenyl-, N-benzhydryl-, and N-phosphinoyl-protected imines gave inferior results compared to the N-benzyl-protected ones. As cyanide sources we tested acetone cyanohydrine, trimethylsilyl cyanide, and HCN. Reduction of catalyst loading, temperature, and concentration resulted in loss of enantioselectivities.
48. Enantioselectivities decreased in the case of aliphatic imines, for example, 2-(benzylamino)-3-methylbutane nitrile was obtained in 55% ee.
