used as substrates to obtain chiral Hantzsch-type 1,4-DHPs, which are frequently contained in pharmaceuticals. The inert C−H bond was converted into a versatile C−Br bond, which enabled the modification of the chiral 1,4-DHP derivatives with high efficiency by nucleophilic substitution. Furthermore, axially chiral 4-aryl pyridines were accessible by central-to-axial chirality conversion.
