Abstract

A new pyrazole ligand system incorporating fluxional chirality was found to catalyze the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes giving rise to the corresponding secondary alcohol products in excellent yields (74–99%) with moderate to high enantioselectivities (46–93%). The size of the fluxional group on the ligand correlated with the level of enantioselectivity of the product.
