are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or the like, and A* represents a group with two or more carbon atoms having an asymmetric carbon atom or axial asymmetry. The invention further relates to a process for asymmetric cyanation of imines, wherein the process comprises reacting an imine with a cyanating agent in the presence of the titanium catalyst.

2-(N-acylimino)-3-arylmethyl-4-chloromethyl-1,3-thiazolidines has been developed by ringtransformation of 1-arylmethyl-2-(thiocyanomethyl)aziridines upon treatment with a catalytic amount of titanium(IV) chloride in dichloromethane. The latter 2-(thiocyanomethyl)aziridines were prepared in high yields from 1-arylmethyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines by reaction with potassium thiocyanate in DMF. The 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidines
