We report an enantioselective Ni-catalyzed cross coupling of arylzinc reagents with pyridiniumions formed <i>in situ</i> from pyridine and a chloroformate. This reaction provides enantioenriched 2-aryl-1,2-dihydropyridine products that can be elaborated to numerous piperidine derivatives with little or no loss in ee. This method is notable for its use of pyridine, a feedstock chemical, to build a versatile, chiral heterocycle in a single synthetic step. ...[more]
