Significance

Chiral pyridone backbones can be found in many bioactive compounds. The authors have developed a nickel-catalyzed enantioselective C–H functionalization of 2- and 4-pyridones by using a bulky N-heterocyclic ligand.

Comment

This nickel-catalyzed reaction permits the enantioselective intramolecular C–H functionalization of 2- and 4-pyridones. The nickel complex, based on a chiral bulky N-heterocyclic ligand, is effective in terms of selectivity, giving chiral 2- and 4-pyridones in good yields and with high enantioselectivities.
