aliphatic substrates for selective C(sp3)–H bond borylations. Heterocyclic molecules are selectively borylated using the inherently elevated reactivity of the C–H bonds. A number of late-stage C–H functionalization have been described using the same catalysts. Furthermore, we show that one of the catalysts could be used even in open air for the C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–Hborylations enabling the method more general

‐Substituted Borylated Cycloalkanes and Saturated Heterocycles
We herein report the hydrogenation of substituted aryl‐ and heteroaryl boronate esters for the selective synthesis of cis‐substituted borylated cycloalkanes and saturated heterocycles. A cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene‐ligated rhodium complex with two dimethyl groups at the ortho‐alkyl scaffold of the carbene showed high reactivity in promoting the hydrogenation, thereby enabling the hydrogenation of
