70. General procedure for the preparation of N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst: A solution of 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (3.2 mg, 0.01 mmol) in freshly distilled THF (5 mL) was carefully degassed with argon at -78 °C. To the solution was added a 1.0 M THF solution of potassium tert-butoxide (10 μL, 0.01 mmol) dropwise at room temperature. After being stirred for 0.5 h, the catalyst solution was used for the following reactions without further purification.
71. 4 and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (cooled by dry ice) (ethyl acetate/hexane = 1:50-1:10 as eluent) to give the corresponding cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ether.
