The use of stoichiometric organoborane reductants in organic synthesis is well established. Here these reagents have been rendered catalytic through an isodesmic B–O/B–H transborylation applied in the borane-catalyzed, chemoselectivealkenereduction and formal hydrofunctionalization of enones. The reaction was found to proceed by a 1,4-hydroboration of the enone and B–O/B–H transborylation with HBpin
