Abstract

Cobalt complexes generated from Co(acac)2 and bisphosphine ligands catalyze asymmetric hydroboration reactions of fluoroalkyl-substituted terminal alkenes with pinacolborane (HBpin) to afford the corresponding chiral alkylboronates containing fluoroalkyl-substituted stereogenic carbon centers with high enantioselectivity.
