✦ Synopsis
Several chiral imidazolidine disulfides 4a-d derived from L-cystine have been synthesized. These ligands have been applied as chiral catalysts in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. The best results were obtained by employing 5 mol% of imidazolidine disulfide 4a, and chiral secondary alcohols were obtained in up to 91% e.e.

## Abstract A new class of chiral β‐amino disulfides was synthesized from readily available and inexpensive starting materials by a straightforward method and their abilities as ligands were examined in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. Enantiomeric excesses of up to 99% ha
