Up to four stereocenters can be created efficiently in a single step by the asymmetric hydrogenation of oxazolidinone-substituted pyridines (see scheme). Furthermore, selective chirality transfer and nondestructive cleavage of the chiral auxiliary occur under the same reaction conditions, making an additional cleavage step unnecessary.
