Abstract
A chiral imidazoline iminopyridine (IIP) ligand enables a highly regio- and enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydroboration/hydrogenation of internal alkynes with HBpin in the presence of hydrogen. Primary mechanistic studies show that a cobalt-catalyzed regioselective hydroboration of alkynes is followed by a HBpin-promoted and cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of alkenylboronates.
