Cyanohydrins, prepared in high optical purity from aryl aldehydes, have been converted into α-hydroxy aldehydes, α-hydroxy ketones and β-hydroxy amines without any racemization and frequently with good stereoselectivity for the erythro-diastereoisomer (>90percent) at the newly introduced stereogenic centre.
