General Information All solvents were distilled under nitrogen atmosphere prior to use. 1, 4-Dioxane, toluene were dried over Na. Unless otherwise noted, commercially available chemicals were distilled and degassed before use. Palladium acetate (II) trimer (CAS:3375-31-3) was used for the reaction, For chromatography, 200-300 mesh silica gel was employed. 1 H spectra were recorded at 400 MHz and 500 MHz and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at 100 MHz and 125 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts ( 1 H) are reported in ppm using tetramethylsilane as internal standard when CDCl 3 was used as solvent. For 13 C NMR, the triplet of CDCl 3 (the center peak at δ 77.00) is used as reference. IR spectra were recorded using Perkin Elmer FT-IR instrument. Mass spectra (EI) were recorded using Shimadzu QP-2010 Ultra and High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on Q-TOF (Micromass) spectrometer. General procedure for the synthesis of IPr-Hcl 1 A dilute solution of HCl (69 ml of 4 M solution in dioxane) was added into a well-stirred solution of diazabutadiene ((1E,2E)-N1,N2-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine) (3.76 g, 10 mmol) in 37 ml of ethyl acetate (0.5 M), followed by addition of paraformaldehyde (6.1 g, 0.2 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature till the reaction mixture becomes homogeneous (~1h). (Paraformaldehyde solution should be added to the solution of diazabutadiene to maintain a gentle heating without reaching reflux of the solvent (1 h)). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature while the yellow colored reaction mixture turns to brown. The precipitate formed during the reaction was filtered and washed with ethyl acetate (3 100 ml). After drying of the precipitate under vacuum (16 h), the product was obtained as an off-white solid. The solid was dissolved in a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO 3 and transferred into a separating funnel, washed with ethyl acetate (3 100 ml), followed CH 2 Cl 2 (3 100 ml). The combined organic phase was dried over MgSO 4 (20 30 g and manually stirred for 1 min), filtered and concentrated under vacuum with a rotary evaporator (pressure 580 mbar with a water bath temperature at 40 C). Recrystallized using a mixture of ethyl acetate and CH 2 Cl 2 (450 ml, 8:1). Filter the white precipitate and wash it three times with ethyl acetate (3 50 ml). Dry the product under vacuum. General Procedures for α-borylation of terminal alkynes To an oven-dried Teflon capped vial equipped with a magnetic stirring bar were added sequentially bromobenzene (187 mg, 1mmol), bis(pinacolato)diboron ( 278 mg, 1.1 mmol), PCy 3 (28 mg, 0.10 mmol), [Pd(OAc) 2 ] 3 (4.0 mg, 0.05 mmol), alkyne (1 mmol), toluene (2 ml) and trifluoroethanol (2 mmol) under argon. The mixture was stirred at 80 ºC for 12 h (monitored by TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the resulting mixture was filtered through a short column of silica gel (eluted with Et 2 O, 20 ml 3) and concentrated. This crude mixture was further purified on a silica gel column chromatography to obtain pure product. General Procedures for β-borylation of terminal alkynes To an oven-dried Teflon capped vial equipped with a magnetic stirring bar were added sequentially bromobenzene (187 mg, 1 mmol), bis(pinacolato)diboron ( 278 mg, 1.1 mmol), IPr- HCl (5 mmol%), t BuOK (11 mol%), [Pd(OAc) 2 ] 3 ( 4.0mg, 0.025 mmol), alkyne (1 mmol), toluene (2 ml) and trifluoroethanol (2 mmol) under argon. The mixture was stirred at 80 ºC for 12 h (monitored by TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the resulting mixture was filtered through a short column of silica gel (eluted with Et 2 O, 20 ml 3) and concentrated. This crude mixture was further purified on a silica gel column chromatography to obtain pure product. SI - 2

Regioselective borylation of hex-5-ynenitrile using MeOD Following the general procedure described above, (E)-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan- 2-yl)hex-5-enenitrile-6-d was obtained as a colourless liquid, 62.4 mg (71%, 60% 2 H insertion). 1 H NMR (CDCl 3, 300 MHz): δ 1.26 (s, 12H), 1.77-1.84 (m, 2H), 2.14 (q, J= 7.2 Hz, 4H), 5.66 (s, 1H), 5.86 (d, J= 2.8 Hz, 1H,); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3 ): δ 16.4, 24.7, 24.98, 34.3, 83.5, 131.1. The stereochemistry was confirmed by a 1D - noe experiment of the non-=deuterated product. Control experiments with different oxidizing agents for borylation Competitive experiments Entry Oxidants (1.1 equiv) yields 1 PIDA 10 % 2 PIFA 15 % 3 MeI nr 4 BQ nr To an oven-dried Teflon capped vial equipped with a magnetic stirring bar were added sequentially bromobenzene (187 mg, 1mmol), bis(pinacolato)diboron ( 278 mg, 1.1 mmol), PCy 3 (28 mg, 0.10 mmol), [Pd(OAc) 2 ] 3 (4.0 mg, 0.05 mmol), alkynes 1g (0.5 mmol) and 1f (0.5 mmol) were subjected for a competitive hydroborylation in toluene (2 ml) and trifluoroethanol (2 mmol) under argon. The mixture was stirred at 80 ºC for 12 h (monitored by TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the resulting mixture was filtered through a short column of silica gel (eluted with Et 2 O, 20 ml 3) and concentrated. This reaction resulted in distinguishable borylated products 2f and 2g in 70:30 ratios and the conversion was obtained by 1 H-NMR spectra (see spectral section below). SI - 3
