title: Highly enantioselective alkynylzinc addition to aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by self-assembled titanium catalysts.
abstract: A highly enantioselective catalyst generated by a combination of BINOL and another ligand with Ti(OiPr)4 was found to be highly effective for the alkynylzinc addition to aromatic aldehydes with enantioselectivities as high as >99%.
