Abstract
Cobalt(II) catalysts based on flexible PNP or NNN ligands were explored for the regioselective hydroboration of alkenes. A known CoII–PNP pincer complex was found to efficiently catalyze alkene hydroboration with excellent anti‐Markovnikov selectivity, whereas a newly synthesized dinuclear CoII–NNN complex was found to catalyze the hydroboration of a range of aromatic terminal alkenes with good Markovnikov selectivities (up to 98:2, b/l). This represents a rare example of Markovnikov selectivity in the hydroboration of alkenes using an inexpensive, flexible‐ligand‐supported dinuclear cobalt catalyst.
