The adduct [MeO→Bpin-Bpin]- efficiently mediates the β-boration of α,β-unsaturated imines formed “in situ”. The use of chiral phosphines as additives, and in particular the chiral phosphine (S)-MeBoPhoz, enables the catalytic asymmetric reaction to proceed with higher enantioselectivity than the analogue copper (I) mediated reaction
