Dibenzyl acyloins including those bearing unsymetrically disposed aryl residues are assembled in high yield by reaction between the O-trimethylsilyl ethers of arylacetaldehyde cyanohydrins and benzyl Grignard reagents.These acyloins are deprotonated with
SYNTHESIS OF FUNGUS PIGMENTS OF THE GREVILLIN AND PULVINONE TYPES FROM BENZYLACYLOINS.

Grevillin-B (2) and 3',4',4'-trihydroxypulvinone (3), principal colouring matters of the myorrhizal toadstool Suillus grevillei, are synthesised in good yield from a common precursor in the form of benzylacyloin 6.
