Cinchona alkaloids (1-4) were used as chiral ligands for the enantioselective Reformatsky reactions. The order of addition of the Reformatsky reagent to ligands was the important factors for the chiral induction. The ratio of Reformatsky reagent to ligand and aldehyde was also effected on the reaction yields.
