Under argon, the chiral ligand (10 mol%, 0.025 mmol) was
mixed with dry n-hexane (1.0 ml) at room temperature and
stirred for 10 min. Then Et2Zn (10 wt% in n-hexane, 0.9 ml)
and phenylacetylene (54 μl, 0.5 mmol) were added by a sy-
ringe. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for
another 1 h, aldehyde (0.25 mmol) was added. The resulting
mixture was stirred for 24 h at room temperature. Then the
reaction was quenched with aqueous HCl (5%) and the mix-
ture was extracted with ether (6 ml). The combined organic
layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concen-
trated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash col-
umn chromatography to give the product.
