title: The first example of enantioselective isocyanosilylation of meso epoxides with TMSCN catalyzed by novel chiral organogallium and indium complexes.
abstract: The desymmetrization ring opening of meso epoxides using trimethylsilyl cyanide catalyzed by organogallium and indium complexes with binaphthol monoether derivatives as chiral ligands gave beta-isocyanohydrins with moderate to excellent enantioselectivities of up to 95% ee.
