This paper describes the solvent‐assisted addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to cyclic α‐fluorinated ketones. In DMF, this method gives TMS‐protected cyanohydrins in good yields (70–95 %) and with good selectivities ( dr up to 22:1), and the products are readily reduced to the corresponding fluorinated 1,2‐amino alcohols.
