The enantionselective addition of terminal acetylenes to aldehydes or ketones affords a direct access to optically active propargyl alcohols which are useful, versatile synthetic intermediates. This mini review focuses on the recent advances in zinc (II) and indium (III) salts-mediated asymmetric alkynylation on carbonyl compounds via in situ "catalytic" generation of metal acetylide.
