The enantioselective organocatalytic Strecker-type reaction of aliphatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones is presented. Using trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) as the cyanide source, the reaction can be efficiently catalyzed by a tert-leucine-derived bifunctional thiourea to afford the corresponding hydrazino nitriles in good to excellent yields (50-96%) and moderate to good enantioselectivities, up to 86% ee. Further transformations of the nitrile functionality allow access to useful protected hydrazino acids and imidazolidinones. Interestingly, some of the hydrazino nitriles and their derivatives could be recrystallized in high recovery, yielding essentially pure enantiomers.

A practical enantioselective total synthesis of the unnatural (+)-quinine and (-)-9--quinine enantiomers, which are important organocatalysts, is reported. The key transformation is a successive organocatalytic formal aza [3 + 3] cycloaddition/Strecker-type cyanation reaction to form an optically active tetrasubstituted piperidine derivative. This organocatalytic reaction proceeded in high yield and gave excellent enantiomeric excess with only 0.

A first organocatalytic enantioselective route was developed for the conversion of readily prepared and air stable aliphatic hydrazones to synthetically valuable alpha-hydrazinonitriles. This BINOL-phosphate catalyzed Strecker-type reaction (see scheme, Ar = p-NO(2)-Ph) provides a new practical and direct route to alpha-hydrazino acids of synthetic and biological importance. The actually active catalyst is proposed to be an in situ formed O-silylated BINOL-phosphate, thus shifting the nature of catalysis from Brønsted acid to Lewis acid organocatalysis.
