Imidazolinium-Carbodithioate Zwitterions as Organocatalysts for the Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes

Abstract

Imidazolinium-carbodithioates as new organocatalysts have been found to catalyze the cyanosilylation of aldehydes in 100% conversion and good yields. The catalysts could be easily ­recovered during flash column chromatography.

cyanosilylation - addition - aldehydes - organocatalysis - zwitterions
