Expanding the Substrate Scope for Metal‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Carbon–Boron Bond Formation

Metal-catalyzed hydroboration is summarized with an emphasis on the importance of the metal, the boron source and the ligand for high levels of regio- and stereoselectivity with a range of substrates. A recent report by Hoveyda, addressing the highly selective reaction of disubstituted alkenes for the preparation of regioisomers not accessible through existing methods, is highlighted.
