A facile cyanation of acetals with trimethylsilyl cyanide, giving the corresponding α-alkoxyalkanenitriles, is achieved by using an electrogenerated acid as an acid-catalyst.
Electrogenerated Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Acetals, Aldehydes, and Ketones with Organosilicon Compounds, Leading to Aldol Reactions, Allylations, Cyanations, and Hydride Additions
electrogenerated acid (EG acid) in the silicon-mediated acid-catalyzed reactions; e.g., aldol reactions, allylations, cyanations, and hydride additions is described. The aldol reaction of acetals 1 with enol trimethylsilyl ethers 3 and 1,2-bis(trimethylsiloxy)alkenes 4 gives the corresponding adducts 5 and 6, respectively. The reaction proceeds smoothly with EG acid derived from perchlorate salts such
