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

A convergent synthesis of grevillins 1 starts from diazoesters 6 which are converted into 3-aryl-2-oxopropyl ethyl oxalates 4 via bromoketones 7.Cyclization of 4 leads to pyrandiones 2 which are condensed with aromatic aldehydes to yield 4-aryl-2-benzylid
