Abstract

NMR spectra and HPLC studies of the stereoselective and regioselective addition of a nitrile anion to aldehydes reveals that the reaction involves an intermediate that is a ketenimine-like N-lithiated-nitrile anion. Concentration studies optimize the reaction between benzaldehyde and lithiated phenylacetonitrile.
