Chiral 1,2-benzazaborines are promising isosteres of naphthalene, but rarely explored due to the lack of efficient synthetic methods. Now, the copper-catalysed enantioselective hydroboration of alkenes with 1,2-benzazaborines has been developed, providing a general platform for the atom-economic and efficient construction of diverse chiral 1,2-benzazaborine compounds bearing a 2-carbon-stereogenic centre or allene skeleton.
