a. Preparation of allylic phosphates allylic phosphates were prepared according to literature procedure.[1] A 50 mL round-bottom flask charged with DMAP (N,N-dimethyl-4-aminopyridine, 0.12 g, 10 mol %) was evacuated and backfilled with argon. Anhydrous CH2Cl2 (10 mL), allylic alcohol (10 mmol) and pyridine (0.9 mL, 1.1 equiv) were added and the mixture was cooled with an ice bath. To the solution, diethylchlorophosphate (1.5 mL, 11 mmol, 1.1 equiv) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at 0 ºC for 5 min. The mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting mixture was diluted with ether (20 mL) and washed 1N HCl solution (15 mL × 3). The water layer was extracted with Et2O (20 mL × 3 ). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated NaHCO3 aq. (15 mL × 3). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4. After filtration and removal of the solvents in vacuo, distillation gave allylic phosphates.

b. Preparation of 1,1-Diborylalkanes 1,1-Diborylalkanes were prepared according to literature procedure.[2] Method A. In air, Cu-catalyst (1 mmol), base (30 mmol), and diboron reagent (22 mmol) were added to a Schlenk tube equipped with a stir bar. The vessel was evacuated and filled with argon (three cycles). DMF (60 mL), and Dibromomethane (10 mmol) were added via syringe under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40 oC for 24 h, and then diluted with EtOAc, filtered through silica gel with copious washings (Et2O or EtOAc), concentrated, and purified by column chromatography. Method B. In air, diborylmethane (10 mmol) was added to a Schlenk tube equipped with a stir bar. The vessel was evacuated and filled with argon (three cycles). THF (30 Page S3

Supporting Information mL), and LDA (11 mmol Acros) were added via syringe under an argon atmosphere at 0 oC. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min, and then alkyl halide (10 mmol) was added at the same tempurature. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 2 hours. When reaction completed, reaction mixture diluted with Et2O, and quenched by the NH4Cl (aq), The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 (s), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. and purified by column chromatography.

c. Preparation of the chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands The chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were prepared according to literature procedure. [3] Step 1: Ethyl chloroglyoxylate (2.47 mL, 22.0 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 2,6- dimethylaniline (2.42 g, 20.0 mmol) and pyridine (1.77 mL, 22.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) at 0 °C, and the resulting solution was stirred for 12 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed successively with 1 M HCl aq, saturated NaHCO3aq, and saturated NaCl aq. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to afford ethyl 2,6-dimethylphenyloxamate as a pale pink solid. Step 2: A solution of ethyl 2,6-dimethylphenyloxamate (664 mg, 3.00 mmol) and amino alcohols (3.31 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (8.0 mL) was refluxed for 3 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed successively with 1 M HCl aq and saturated NaCl aq. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to afford the product as a white solid. This solid was added to a suspension of LiAlH4 (456 mg, 12.0 mmol) in THF (8.0 mL) at 0 °C, and the mixture was stirred for 20 h at 70 °C. The reaction was cooled to 0 °C, and H2O (0.4 mL), 15% NaOH aq (0.4 mL), and H2O (1.2 mL) were slowly added to it. The precipitate that formed was removed by filtration through celite with THF. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to afford substituted ethylenediamine as a pale Page S4

Supporting Information yellow oil. Step 3: HCl (3.0 mL, 3.0 mmol; 1.0 M solution in Et2O) was added dropwise to a solution of the substituted ethylenediamine which was obtained by step2 in Et2O (10 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 5 min at room temperature. This was then diluted with hexane and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. The solid thus obtained was dissolved in toluene (6.0 mL), and trimethyl orthoformate (1.42 mL, 13.0 mmol) was added to it. This mixture was stirred for 20 h at 90 °C, and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was then dissolved in H2O (20 mL) and washed with EtOAc. KPF6 (1.11 g, 6.03 mmol) was added to the aqueous solution and the mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature. After extraction with CH2Cl2, the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The resulting solid was redissolved in CH2Cl2 and diluted with hexane. The precipitate that formed was collected by filtration to afford the chiral NHC ligand as a white solid.
