                                    A variety of aldehydes (aromatic, heteroaromatic, alpha,beta-unsaturated, and nonconjugate aliphatic aldehydes) has been trimethylsilylcyanated in highly enantiomeric excess (ee) with a catalyst prepared in situ from titanium tetraisopropoxide [Ti(O-i-Pr)4] and chiral Schiff bases. A remarkable rate enhancement was brought about by the addition of the Schiff base into the titanium alkoxide mediated silylcyanation of aldehydes. The chemical structure of chiral Schiff base-titanium alkoxide complexes is discussed based on their C-13 NMR spectra, field desorption (FD) mass spectra, and molecular weights.
