The catalytic regioselective hydroboration of propargylic alcohols and ethers was investigated using NHC-CuCl. We observe that different NHCCuCl complexes catalyze hydroborations of propargylic substrates with opposite regioselectivity. A 6-NHC-CuCl complex provides R-selectivity whereas β-selectivity is achieved using a 5-NHC-CuCl complex. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups.
