A polystyrene-supported analog (PS-PIB) of 3-exo-morpholinoisoborneol (MIB), designed for increased chemical stability, has been synthesized and used as a ligand in the asymmetric alkylation of aldehydes with Et<sub>2sub>Zn. The supported ligand turned out to be highly active and enantioselective for a broad scope of substrates (92鈥?9% ee), allowing repeated recycling. A single-pass, continuous flow process implemented with PS-PIB shows only a marginal decrease in conversion after 30 h of operation.
