The enantioselective addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to a variety of aldehydes proceeded by the aid of a catalyst prepared in situ from titanium tetraisopropoxide [Ti(O-i-Pr)4] and chiral Schiff bases and gave the corresponding cyanohydrins in high optical yield (up to 96% e.e.). A remarkable rate enhancement was brought about by the addition of the Schiffbase to the titanium alkoxide mediated

Reaction of a variety of aldehydes with diketene in the presence of chiral Schiff baseâtitanium alkoxide complexes proceeds with high enantioselectivity to afford the corresponding 5-hydroxy-3-oxoesters.

The synthesis of the C1-C19 bis-pyran unit of phorboxazole B has been achieved. The key pyran rings were constructed by means of an asymmetric Maitland-Japp reaction and a second Maitland-Japp resolution/cyclization reaction. The longest linear sequence was 14 steps, and the C1-C19 bis-pyran unit was formed in an impressive 10.4% yield.
Complete reversal of enantioselection using oxazoline-containing Schiff base ligands derived from l-serine in enantioselective addition of diketene to aldehydes
Starting from one stereogenic center (in this case from L-serine), we obtained two chiral Schiff bases possessing oxazoline moieties, each of which recognized a different enantioface of aldehydes with a high enantionteric excess [up to 93% ee (R) and 89% ee (S)] in the addition reaction of diketene to 2-furfural.
