A series of new optically active [2‐(1‐hydroxyalkyl)pyrrolidino]methylferrocenes were conveniently prepared from commercially available L ‐proline and ferrocenecarboxylic acid. The crystal structure of key intermediate was obtained. They were then applied to catalyze enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to arylaldehydes with enantio‐ selectivity up to 99%. The effects of the ligand structures on the enantioselectivity were also studied.
