title: Asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-diols by C(2)-symmetric chiral 4-pyrrolidinopyridines.
abstract: In this work we developed C(2)-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.
