摘要：

Strecker reactions of aldimines with Bu3SnCN in the presence of the novel chiral zirconium binuclear catalyst 1 provide -aminonitriles in good yields and with high enantioselectivities. The reaction can be applied to a wide range of substrates. Since both enantiomers of the chiral sources are readily avaibable, both enantiomers of the -aminonitriles are easily prepared according to this method. L=N-methylimidazole.
