Abstract: Aseries of new chiral catalysts of Salen-Ti(OR)4 complexes were synthesized, which were found to be efficient catalysts for the enantioselective silylcyanation of aldehydes. The enantioselectivities of 22.4%-87.1% were obtained by using chiral Salen Ti(OR)4 complexes as catalyst. The reaction mechanism was proposed and justified by experiments.

Key words: Schiff base-Ti(OR)4 complexes, Counter-ion, Catalytic asymmetric silylcyanation reaction
