title: Diphenylprolinol silyl ether as a catalyst in an asymmetric, catalytic and direct alpha-benzoyloxylation of aldehydes.
abstract: Diphenylprolinol silyl ether was found to promote asymmetric, catalytic and direct alpha-benzoyloxylation of aldehydes with benzoyl peroxide to afford oxidized products in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity.
