Chiral DMAP catalysts play auseful role in kinetic resolutions and other asymmetric transformations.  We have prepared several new DMAPcatalysts which contain chiral pyrazolidinones as a stereocontrol unit. Kineticresolutions of secondary alcohols proceed with s factor as high as 23 using 10mol% of the chiral DMAP catalyst. These results and application of the new DMAP catalysts in othertransformations will be discussed.
