摘要

1-Methoxy-2-methyl-1-(trimethylsiloxy)propene, a neutral pi-nucleophile, was found to be able to efficiently catalyze the cyanation (cyanosilylation and cyanocarbonation) of various aldehydes and ketones, and this study provided the first illustration of using a neutral pi-nucleophile for the development of synthetically useful organocatalysis.
