Yttrium chloride catalyzed reaction of arylglyoxal and alcohol resulted in highly selective formation of α-aryl-α-hydroxyacetic ester under the influence of an added base (triethylamine, pyridine, piperidine) and afforded acetal in the absence of the base. The possible role of the additive (base) is discussed.
