Strecker reactions of various aldimines as well as ketoimines with TMSCN proceeded smoothly under mild conditions to give the corresponding alpha-amino nitriles and alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino nitriles, respectively, in good to excellent yields in the presence of nanocrystalline magnesium oxide. The reaction proceeds through hypervalent silicate species by coordination to O2-/O- (Lewis basic site) of nanocrystalline magnesium oxide, proved by Si-29 NMR. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
