We report the synthesis of cobalt complexes of novel iminopyridine-oxazoline (IPO) ligands and their application to the asymmetric hydroboration of 1,1-disubstitutedarylalkenes. The new catalysts afforded α-alkyl-β-pinacolatoboranes with exclusive regioselectivity in high yields with up to 99.5% ee. Furthermore, we have applied this method to an efficient synthesis of naproxen.
