New polymeric Zn(salen) complex was employed in the enantioselective phenylacetylene addition to aldehydes and ketones to produce corresponding chiral secondary propargylic alcohols with yields (up to 96%) and enantioselectivity (up to 72%) and tertiary propargylic alcohols with yields (up to 79%) and enantioselectivity (up to 68%) at room temperature, with added advantage of four times reuse with retention of enantioselectivity.
