Abstract
Cobalt complexes of iminopyridine-oxazoline (IPO) ligands can be applied to the asymmetric hydroboration of 1,1-disubstituted aryl alkenes to afford α-alkyl-β-pinacolatoboranes with exclusive regioselectivity in high yields with up to 99.5% ee. An efficient synthesis of naproxen is described.
