A new fluorous ligand was synthesized from the acetonide of dimethyl tartarate, which showed excellent asymmetric induction on the addition of dimethylzinc to aldehydes. This ligand will be useful for synthesis of bioactive compounds with a methyl carbinol moiety. It could be recycled without using a fluorous solvent or a fluorous column.
