We report the copper‐catalyzed stereoselective addition of in situ generated chiral boron‐α‐alkyl intermediates to various aldehydes including α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes under mild conditions. This tandem and multicomponent method facilitated the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 1,2‐hydroxyboronates bearing contiguous stereocenters in good yield with high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity up to a ratio greater than 98:2. In particular, α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes were successfully used as electrophiles in Cu−H catalysis through 1,2‐addition without significant reduction. The resulting 1,2‐hydroxyboronates were used in various transformations.
