A novel and highlyenantioselective synthesis of hydroxyalkynyl esters and ethers through the asymmetric addition of alkynyl esters or ethers to aldehydes promoted by a cyclopropyl amino alcohol based zinc catalyst has been developed. The method afforded a library of new enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and ethers (up to 93% yield; 95% ee), and it was compatible with a broad range of functional
