Abstract
Disclosed is a process for preparing optically active alpha-aminonitriles of the formula ##STR1## by the reaction of alpha-trimethylsilyloxynitriles with optically active alpha-methylbenzylamine in the presence of a loweralkyl alcohol. In the above formula, R denotes C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.12 cycloalkyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.15 aralkyl or unsubstituted or substituted aryl or heteroaryl. In general, R-alpha-methylbenzylamine gave I and III as the major and the minor products, respectively. Whereas, S-alpha-methylbenzylamine gave II and IV as the major and the minor products, respectively. The compounds so prepared are intermediates in the preparation of optically active aminoacids.
