title: One-pot rhodium(i)-catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes: radical conjugate addition.
abstract: B-Alkylcatecholboranes, prepared by rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes, are suitable radical precursors for conjugate addition to activated olefins. This procedure proved to be particularly useful for the control of the regio- and chemoselectivity of such tandem processes. Enantioselective hydroboration has also been successfully coupled with radical chain reaction in a one-pot process.
