The Strecker reaction of ethyl cyanoformate with aldimines was carried out with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as the catalyst. The reaction conditions were optimized with different catalysts, catalyst loading and various solvents. 14 α-aminonitriles were synthesized via the optimal reaction conditions. It was found that both aromatic and aliphatic aldimines were suitable electrophiles and the highest yield was 93%. The reaction has the virtue of simple operation, mild reaction condition, high yield and environment friendliness.

Key words: N-heterocyclic carbenes, Strecker reaction, imines, ethyl cyanoformate
