Asymmetric organocatalytic diboration of alkenes.
The use of chiral alcohols to form the Lewis acid-base *RO(-)→ bis(pinacolato)diboron adduct, in situ, provides an opportunity to induce asymmetry in the organocatalytic diboration of alkenes and complements the well established transition metal-mediated enantioselective diboration.
