An efficient preparation of cyanohydrin ethyl carbonates via cyanocarbonation of aromatic and hetero-aromatic aldehydes with sodium cyanide and ethyl chlorocarbonate using commercial surfactants (5 mol %) in aqueous media at low temperature afforded almost quantitative isolated yields (≥ 94 %) in 30 minutes. Aromaticaldehydes bearing electron-donating as well as electron-withdrawing groups have been
