%X Cyanohydrins, prepared in high optical purity from aryl aldehydes, have been converted into &#945;- hydroxy aldehydes, &#946;- hydroxy  ketones and &#946;- hydroxy amines without any racemization and frequently with good stereoselectivity for the erythro-diastereoisomer (>90%) at the newly introduced stereogenic centre.
