title: Gold-complexes catalyzed oxidative α-cyanation of tertiary amines.
abstract: Oxidative α-cyanation of tertiary amines is catalyzed by gold complexes with trimethylsilyl cyanide to afford the corresponding α-aminonitriles in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide in good to excellent yields under acid-free conditions at room temperature.
