摘要
A new application of chiral oxazaborolidines in asymmetric transformation, namely the hydrocyanation of imines, is described. The effect of protonation of these catalysts on the reactivity and enantioselectivity of hydrocyanations is studied. Significant increase in reaction rate is observed upon protonation of the catalysts, along with the reversal of the sense of stereoinduction.
