New enantiopure imidazolinium carbene ligands incorporating two hydroxy functions have been synthesized from commercially available chiral amino alcohols and diamines. These ligands in combination with different metallic salts have been investigated in the diethylzinc addition to aldehydes with good yields and enantioselectivity.
