Application

Trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) can be used as a reagent in the:
  • Cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds using various catalysts.
  • Synthesis of α-aminonitriles by one-pot, three-component Strecker reaction of ketones with various amines using Brønsted acid catalyst.
  • Cyanation of aryl halides using palladium-complex as a catalyst.
