title: Catalytic nucleophilic glyoxylation of aldehydes.
abstract: Beta-silyloxy-alpha-keto esters are prepared through a cyanide-catalyzed benzoin-type reaction with silyl glyoxylates and aldehydes. The products undergo a dynamic kinetic resolution to provide enantioenriched orthogonally protected alcohols and can be converted to the corresponding beta-silyloxy-alpha-amino esters.
