Asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-diols by C2-symmetric chiral 4-pyrrolidinopyridines

In this work we developed C2-symmetric chiral nucleophilic catalysts which possess a pyrrolidinopyridine framework as a catalytic site. Some of these organocatalysts effectively promoted asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-diols via enantioselective acylation.
