An efficient one-pot three-component synthesis of α-amino nitriles via Strecker reaction catalysed by bismuth(III) nitrate

A convenient and efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of a variety of α-amino nitriles from aldehydes, amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) in the presence of a catalytic amount of Bi(NO3)3 at room temperature in acetonitrile (MeCN) is described. The significant features of this method ar...
