The regioselective asymmetric hydrophosphination of pyridine-functionalized alkenes can be achieved in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of the chiral palladium complex (R)-1. The presence or absence of base affords the respective β- and α-adducts with excellent regiocontrol. Chiral gold-phosph...
