Abstract The tetrachlorosilane-potassium cyanide reagent combination, (trichloro-silyl cyanide-in situ) is a new, safe and versatile hydrogen cyanide substitute. The reaction of this reagent with saturated aldimines 1a–j and benzophenone oxime 3, in absences of any catalyst, affords the corresponding α-aminonitriles 2a–j and 4, respectively, in excellent yield. Under the same condition the bis-imine
