Chiral GC conditions
Chiral gas chromatography was performed on a Varian450-GC instrument with a TCD detector
using Supelco Gamma DEX 120 fused silica capillary columns (26–30 m 0.25 mm 0.25 m
film thickness) with hydrogen as a carrier gas. Analyses were performed using one of the following
methods:
Method 1: initial temperature 95 °C, hold for 2 minutes then ramp rate of 3 °C/minute to 180 °C,
then hold for another 5 minutes. Flow rate: 2 mL/min.
Method 2: initial temperature 95 °C, hold for 2 minutes then ramp rate of 5 °C/minute to 180 °C,
then hold for another 5 minutes. Flow rate: 1 mL/min.
Method 3: initial temperature 95 °C, hold for 2 minutes then ramp rate of 2 °C/minute to 180 °C,
then hold for another 5 minutes. Flow rate: 2 mL/min.
Method 4: initial temperature 95 °C, hold for 5 minutes then ramp rate of 0.5 °C/minute to 180 °C,
then hold for another 5 minutes. Flow rate: 2 mL/min.
Method 5: initial temperature 95 °C, hold for 2 minutes then ramp rate of 5 °C/minute to 180 °C,
then hold for another 5 minutes. Flow rate: 2 mL/min.
Retention times were found to vary as the chiral GC column aged and were also different from
column to column. In many cases it was necessary to change the method used to analyse a particular
cyanohydrin acetate when the chiral GC column was replaced. The GC traces presented in the
following pages were recorded over a period of three years on three different chiral columns, which
accounts for the variation in retention times.

Plot of log([2]) against log(k2obs avg)
Since k2obs = k2[2]x, log(k2obs) = log(k2) + xlog([2]), therefore a plot of log([2]) against log(k2obs)
provides an alternative way of determining the order with respect to catalyst 2. The plot is shown
below and its slope is consistent with an order of 1.0 with respect to catalyst.

Kinetic plots used to determine the activation parameters in propylene carbonate
The units for the vertical scales are ln[(B0At)/(BtA0)]/(A0B0), where A = [PhCHO], B =
[Me3SiCN], and the subscripts 0 and t refer to initial concentrations and concentrations at time t,
respectively.
