A novel chiral (salen)Al III complex was synthesized through the reaction of Et 2 AlCl and salen ( R , R )‐ 1 derived from ( R , R )‐11,12‐diamino‐9,10‐dihydro‐9,10‐ethanoanthracene. This complex is an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric trimethylsilylcyanation of aldehydes in the presence of tributylphosphane oxide as an additive. The use of 1 mol‐% of the complex led to the corresponding cyanohydrins in high yields (85–94 %) with good‐to‐excellent enantioselectivities (42–92 % ee ).(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
