4,4,5,5‐Tetraphenyl‐1,3,2‐dioxaborolane (HBBzpin, 3 ) has been prepared in high yield by the addition of H 3 B · SMe 2 to benzopinacol. HBBzpin is a relatively stable solid that reacts with a variety of alkenes under catalytic conditions to give air‐ and chromatography‐stable organoboronate esters. Reactions of vinylarenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Cp*IrCl 2 ] 2 gave the corresponding terminal products selectively. Addition of HBBzpin to RhCl(PPh 3 ) 3 gave Rh(H)Cl(BzBpin)(PPh 3 ) 2 ( 11 ) as the only new rhodium‐containing product. The complex 11 has been characterized by a number of physical and analytical methods, including a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
