Abstract

A cobalt-catalyzed method for the diboration of terminal alkynes with B2Pin2 proceeds efficiently at 23°C with excellent 1,1-selectivity and broad functional group tolerance. With the unsymmetrical diboron reagent PinB-BDan, stereoselective 1,1-diboration provided products with two boron substituents that exhibit differential reactivity.
