Abstract
In the presence of SiCl4 and a catalytic amount of a chiral phosphoramide, silyl ketene imines undergo extremely rapid and high yielding addition to a wide variety of aromatic aldehydes with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The nitrile function serves as a useful precursor for further synthetic manipulation.
