Molecules with chiral boron atoms have been scarcely studied due to limited synthetic access. Herein, we report a new method for their synthesis via asymmetric insertion of arydiazoacetates into the B-H bonds of prochiral carbene-boranes NHC-BH 2 R. The reaction is catalyzed by the rhodium( i ) comp...
