The preparation of a variety of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors is described. The relative merits of imidazolinium salts and silver carbenes as NHC precursors are discussed with respect to their synthesis, stability and performance in the copper catalysed conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc reagents to a variety of Michael acceptors. Enantioselectivities of up to 93% were achieved using
