Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 3-Substituted Pyridinium Salts

The use of an equivalent amount of an organic base leads to high enantiomeric excess in the asymmetric hydrogenation of N‐benzylated 3‐substituted pyridinium salts into the corresponding piperidines. Indeed, in the presence of Et3N, a Rh‐JosiPhos catalyst reduced a range of pyridinium salts with ee...
