Asymmetric methylation and phenylation of the chiral pyridinium salt 7, as well as methylation of chiral pyridinium salt 18, with Grignard reagents occurred in good yield and with good-to-excellent diastereoselectivities. These results are best explained by assuming chelate control to govern the asymmetric alkylation/arylation process. The minimum-energy conformations of the out-of-plane twisted pyridinium salts 7 and 18, as determined hy the 'Molecular Simulations Cerius-Dreiding II' program, are in good agreement with the postulated asymmetric chelate-control mechanism.
