Abstract
Bifunctional [image]-amino nitriles are not only versatile intermediates in organic synthesis but also exhibit a valuable dual reactivity, which has been utilized in a broad range of synthetic applications. This review highlights recent developments in the chemistry of [image]-amino nitriles, including asymmetric synthesis of [image]-amino acids via Strecker reactions using chiral auxiliaries and catalysts, [image]-amino nitriles as masked iminium ion equivalents in cationic reactions and the synthesis of natural products and heterocycles, and [image]-metallation to provide nucleophilic acyl anion equivalents and applications to asymmetric Umpolung reactions.

In the (Scheme 26 )Summary of reactions of lithiated a-amino nitriles.
Notice that the production of P2P ketone and diketones in the reaction with lithiated amino nitriles, that cought my eye and could be exploited say using a cheap OTC Phenylalanine amino acid.......java
