Abstract
Scandium triflate (CF3SO3 )-catalyzed Strecker-type reactions were successfully carried out by simply mixing aldehydes, amines and tributyltin cyanide at room temperature, to afford α-amino nitriles in high yields. The reactions proceeded smoothly in both organic and aqueous solutions, and complete recovery of the tin materials has been achieved.
