An existing challenge is the development of efficient regioselective catalytic systems that are compatible with stable hydroboration reagents and can be rendered enantioselective by the use of nonracemic ligands. Copper(I) complexes with chelating phosphines catalyzed the regio‐ and enantioselective hydroboration of styrenes with pinacolborane (PinBH) at room temperature to afford the corresponding

developing field where N-heterocycliccarbenes (NHCs) are making increasingly more impact. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of carbene-oxazoline containing proligands that exhibit two chiral centers. The corresponding rhodium(I) complexes show excellent activity toward the asymmetric hydroboration of styrenes, which occurs with good regio– and enantioselectivity (up to 96% ee). The
