Two methods are reported for the 1,2‐ and 1,1‐arylboration of α‐methyl vinyl arenes. In the case of 1,2‐arylboration, the formation of a quaternary center occurred through a rare cross‐coupling reaction of a tertiary organometallic complex. 1,1‐Arylboration was enabled by catalyst optimization and occurred through a β‐hydride elimination/reinsertion cascade. Enantioselective variants of both processes are presented as well as mechanistic investigations.
