A new class of modular chiral catalysts derived from various amino acid‐ L ‐Pro dipeptides was prepared, and the catalysts were tested for their ability to catalyze the enantioselective addition of dimethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. Dipeptides derived from L ‐Asp‐ L ‐Pro were identified as effective catalysts for the addition at room temperature with up to 97:3  er and 95 % yield.
