Highly enantioselective catalytic synthesis of chiral pyridines

Chiral pyridines are valuable building blocks in medicinal chemistry applications. Here, the authors report the copper-catalysed Lewis acid-assisted asymmetric alkylation of β-substituted alkenyl pyridines with Grignard reagents affording chiral pyridines with excellent enantioselectivity.
