Abstract

The Strecker reaction is a power method for the synthesis of cyano-substituted compounds. Here the authors report a dual-reagent system for asymmetric Strecker reactions, where an in situformed organocatalyst/methyl acrylate zwitterionic adduct activates both the cyanide source and the electrophile.
