Carbonylation of dialkylcyanocuprates with carbon monoxide: Synthesis of α-hydroxyketones
Kabalka, George W.,Li, Nan-Sheng,Yu, Su
, p. 2203 - 2206 (1997)
Dialkylcyanocuprates, prepared from copper(I) cyanide and the corresponding alkyllithium or Gringard reagents, readily react with carbon monoxide in the presence of tri-n-butylphosphine at -78°C in THF to give α-hydroxyketones in high yields (65-85%).

Paragraph 0244-0246, (2017/12/15)
Disclosed is a process for preparing a product of formula I: wherein the reaction is catalyzed both by thiamine or a thiamine salt and by ascorbic acid in a form which is free or salified or an organic acid salt of an alkaline metal, preferably sodium acetate, potassium tartrate, sodium succinate, or a reductone, preferably 2-hydroxypropanedial or 2,3-dihydroxycyclopent-2-ene-1-one in an organic solvent.
Tandem hydroformylation/acyloin reaction - The synergy of metal catalysis and organocatalysis yielding acyloins directly from olefins

A novel, atom efficient, orthogonal tandem catalysis was developed yielding acyloin products (α-hydroxy ketones) directly from olefins under hydroformylation conditions. The combination of a metal-catalysed hydroformylation and an organocatalysed acyloin reaction provides three atom efficient C-C bond formations to linear, multifunctional molecules via linkage of the intermediate n-aldehydes. Additionally, the rhodium catalyst system gives a high n/bra ratio with an exclusive conversion of the terminal double bond in the hydroformylation and the n-aldehydes are converted selectively to their acyloins.
