title: Lanthanum tricyanide-catalyzed acyl silane-ketone benzoin additions.
abstract: Lanthanum tricyanide efficiently catalyzes a benzoin-type coupling between acyl silanes and ketones. Yields range from moderate to excellent over a broad substrate scope encompassing aryl, alkyl, electron-rich, and sterically hindered ketones.
