Abstract A remote C(sp3)?H bond asymmetric borylation of unactivated alkenes was achieved by bimetallic relay catalysis. The reaction proceeded through reversible and consecutive β‐H elimination/olefin insertion promoted by CoH species generated in situ, followed by copper‐catalyzed asymmetric protoboration. The use of this synergistic Co/Cu catalysis protocol allowed the enantioselective protoboration of various unactivated terminal alkenes and internal alkenes, as well as an unrefined mixture of olefin isomers, at the distal less‐reactive β‐position to a functional group, leading to chiral organoboronates.
