Abstract: A new vinylborane reagent has been designed, which engages in nickel-catalyzed diastereoselective hydroboration of olefins. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal σ-coordination-enabled B–H activation, which simultaneously forms B–Ni, C–Ni, and C–H bonds while breaking the B–H bond and the CC bond.
