3 Computational methods We initially performed thorough conformational searches to locate the lowest energy geometries of the chemical species under study. Final geometry optimizations were carried out using the MPWB1K 1 global hybrid meta-gga functional together with the 6-311G* basis set. Frequency calculations were performed to determine the nature of the stationary points: the transition structures (TSs) had one imaginary frequency and the reactants, the intermediate structures and the products had no imaginary frequencies. Solvent effects in DCM (solvent used experimentally) were taken into account through full optimizations using the SMD continuum solvation method. 2 Free energies were computed at K and 1 atm in DCM. To verify the connectivity of the TSs with the correct local minima, intrinsic reaction coordinates (IRCs) were computed from every optimized TS in forward and reverse directions along the imaginary mode of vibration using either the Hessian-based predictor corrector (HPC) 3-4 or the local quadratic approximation (LQA) 5-6 algorithms. Bond orders (Wiberg Bond indices, WBIs) 7 and atomic charges were calculated with the natural bond orbital (NBO) 8-9 method. All computations were carried out with the Gaussian 09 suite of programs. 10 S3

10 The mechanism for the reaction of BF 3-coordinated 1-phenyl oxiranyl MIDA boronate (24) with ring opening at the less substituted bond (C2-O) is displayed in Figure S3. In Table S5 distances and WBIs for selected bonds of TSs are shown. Two routes can be followed in which the C-O bond is approaching to H b/h a, which we named anti/syn pathways. The concerted mechanisms from trans-24-bf 3 may occur via TSs S-1 and S-2 following anti and syn paths, respectively. Both pathways involve a BMIDA migration to lead compound 23 (-30.0 kcal/mol) which is also generated from cis-1-bf 3 (See Figure 3 in the manuscript). TS S-1 (44.8 kcal/mol) has higher energy than TS S-2 (32.5 kcal/mol). In TSs S-1, the phenyl is placed more favorably to migrate (C2-C1-C3= 118 ). However, the migration of the BMIDA group occurs while in TS S-2 the BMIDA group is placed more favorably to migrate toward C1. Cis-24-BF 3 may also undergo a one-step mechanism through the syn pathway with BMIDA shift via TS S-4. This route leads to S-7, which is the endo analogue of 23 (endo indicates that BF 3 is closer to C1-C2 bond), and has a lower energy (-34.7 kcal/mol). Cis-24-BF 3 may also undergo a stepwise mechanism through the anti-pathway via TS S-3, to generate the intermediate BF 2-bound fluorohydrin S-5. This mechanism involves a fluorine transfer from the BF 3 group to the carbocation at C2. In TS S-3 a fluorine atom of BF 3 group is in a favorable position to interact with C2 (C2-F = 2.25 Å and WBI = 0.113). In the second step of the mechanism, S-5 undergoes phenyl migration to yield 15-N through TS S N is also generated from trans-1-bf 3 (See Figure 2 in the manuscript). These mechanisms have much larger activation barriers than those associated with the rupture of the C1-O bond (See Figure 5 in the manuscript), which is mainly attributed to the lack of the resonance contribution.
