75. Solutions of hydrogen cyanide were generated prior to the addition by combination of equimolar amounts of TMSCN and methanol in toluene for 1 h.
76. Enantioselectivities decreased in the case of ethyl-keto imines and aliphatic ketoimines, for example, 2-(4-methoxybenzylamino)-2- phenylbutanenitrile was obtained in 40% ee, 2-(4-methoxy-benzylamino)-2,3- dimethylbutanenitrile was obtained in 12 % ee.
