A new bifunctional catalytic system based on chiral N ‐oxide titanium complexes has been used for the asymmetric cyanosilylation of ketones. Screening of a variety of chiral N ‐oxide metal complexes resulted in (1 R ,2 S )‐1‐(2′‐pyridylmethyl)‐2‐(diphenylhydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine N ‐oxide titanium complex, which gave O ‐TMS cyanohydrins in good yields with enantiomeric excesses of up to 69 %. A catalytic cycle based on experimental phenomena and studies was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
