Abstract

This work demonstrates an efficient way to prepare chiral propargylic alcohols by asymmetric addition of terminal Zn-acetylide to aldehydes catalyzed by bifunctional zinc-based complexes. The corresponding products with moderate to good yields and enantioselectivities were obtained in the absence of moisture-sensitive Ti(O i Pr)4.
