title: Facile synthesis of planar chiral N-oxides and their use in Lewis base catalysis.
abstract: A rapid and versatile method for the preparation of planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane-derived pyridines and pyridine N-oxides is reported. The potential utility of these compounds in Lewis base catalysis is briefly introduced.
