Pyridine, one of the most important azaarenes, is ubiquitous in functional mols. The electronic properties of pyridine were exploited to trigger asym. transformations of prochiral species as a direct approach for accessing chiral pyridine derivatives However, the full potential of this synthetic strategy for the construction of enantioenriched γ-functionalized pyridines remains untapped. Here, the authors describe the first enantioselective addition of prochiral radicals to vinylpyridines under cooperative photoredox and asym. catalysis mediated by visible light. The enantioselective reductive couplings of vinylpyridines with aldehydes, ketones, and imines were achieved by employing a chiral Bronsted acid to activate the reaction partners and provide stereocontrol via H-bonding interactions. Valuable chiral γ-secondary/tertiary hydroxyl- and amino-substituted pyridines were obtained in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities.
