(N-Phosphinoamidinate)cobalt-Catalyzed Hydroboration: Alkene Isomerization Affords Terminal Selectivity

Herein we establish the utility of a three-coordinate (N-phosphinoamidinate) cobalt(amido) pre-catalyst that is capable of effecting challenging alkene isomerization/hydroboration processes at room temperature, leading to the selective terminal addition of the boron group.
