43. An example of a one-pot three-component enantioselective Strecker reaction has been described, but the amine involved is an aniline, which therefore gives an N-monosubstituted aminonitrile, see:. Ishitani H., Komiyama S., Hasegawa Y., and Kobayashi S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122 (2000) 762-766

71. Occasionally, the crude isolate had a small but non-zero optical rotation. This is explained by the presence of traces of the chiral carboxamide 3, carried through with the aminonitrile 1; the carboxamides are apparently not transformed in the Bruylants conditions. In such cases, the presence of the carboxamide was confirmed by GLC analysis of the crude Bruylants reaction product mixture.

73. We are aware of only one description of a series of Bruylants reactions which appear to have been carried out using 1.1 equiv of Grignard reagents. The substrates were α-secondary allylic α-aminonitriles and reported yields of amines averaged around 60%, see:. Ahlbrecht H., and Dollinger H. Synthesis (1985) 743-748
