Abstract
Different aldehydes and amines react with acyl cyanides in the presence of a catalytic amount of the Schreiner thiourea catalyst to give the corresponding N-acyl amino nitriles in high yields. The scope of the reaction is broad and allows the use of both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and amines.
