1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Piperidines are the most prevalent heterocycle found in medicines. Yet, while they are often chiral, there remain no robust methods for their asymmetric syntheses. To solve this challenge, we have interrupted the century-old Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag (HLF) reaction to afford this privileged heterocycle. The catalytic, regio- and enantio- selective δ C-H cyanation of acyclic amines described herein, incorporates a carbonyl equivalent selectively at the δ position. This δ C-H cyanation is enabled by a chiral Cu catalyst, which both initiates and terminates intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) by an N-centered radical relay mechanism. The broad scope and utility of this highly enantioselective method for δ C-C formation is presented, as well as conversion of the resulting enantioenriched δ amino nitriles to a family of chiral piperidines. Experiments probing the chemo-, regio-, and enantio- selectivity of this HAT mechanism are also included to enable extension to other stereoselective δ C-H functionalizations.
