PURPOSE:To obtain the subject compounds of high optical purity useful as an intermediate for synthesis of medicines, pesticides, etc., in a high yield by reacting an aldehyde with a silane compound in the presence of an optically active titanium compound or an enantiomer thereof. CONSTITUTION:A compound of formula R<1>CHO (R<1> is alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl) is reacted with a compound of formula R<2>3SiCN(R<2> is lower alkyl) in the presence of an optically active titanium compound or an enantiomer thereof represented by formula I (R<3> and R<4> are phenyl or lower alkyl; R<5> is phenyl or fluorophenyl) in a solvent such as toluene at -100 deg.C - room temperatures to obtain the objective compound of formula II. The above- mentioned reaction is carried out using the respective compounds of formula R<2>3SiCN and formula I in an amount of equimolar or more based on the compound of formula R<1>CHO.
