Asymmetric cyanation of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) with α,β‐unsaturated amides and ketones, respectively, catalyzed by bifunctional mononuclear 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol (BINOL)–Mg and binuclear bis(prophenol)–Mg catalysts was realized. A series of synthetically important 1,4‐cyano products were obtained with good to high enantioselectivities (up to 97 % ee).
