25. Shibasaki and co-workers also demonstrated that the use of stoichiometric HCN in conjunction with catalytic amounts of TMSCN resulted in highly effective catalysis: N. Kato, M. Suzuki, M. Kanai, M. Shibasaki, Tetrahedron Lett. 2004, 45, 3153.

37. A referee has pointed out that in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of isopropyl alcohol, an analogous catalysis mode involving the activation of HCN by the quinuclidine ring nitrogen could also be considered.
