Tartaric acid has the symmetrical structure with two chiral carbon atoms, which is cheap and available. As a result, tartaric acid and its derivatives are widely used in asymmetric synthesis, among which α,α,α’,α’-tetraphenyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-bismethanol (TADDOL) and chiral (acyloxy)borane (CAB) have been studied detailedly in asymmetric catalysis. This paper will review the recent advances in application of TADDOL and CAB to asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes or ketones, asymmet-ric addition of allylic organometallic reagents to aldehydes, asymmetric addition of alkyl cerium reagents to aldehydes. Also the catalytic effects are briefly discussed.

Key words: asymmetric addition, tartaric acid, allylation, aldehyde, diethylzinc, ketone
