Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of air-stable, cost-effective, readily synthesizable iron(III) salen complexes (Fe-1 Fe-2) for facilitating the selective hydroboration ketones unactivated imines with pinacolborane in absence any additive. These catalyst systems exhibited good yields, chemoselectivity, high atom economy, broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions minimal loading 0.2 mol %. The catalytic efficiency Fe-1 has been demonstrated through diverse aromatic, aliphatic, heterocyclic turnover number up to 1000, highlighting its scope. Ketones are chemoselectively hydroborated over other functional groups such as imines, alkenes, esters, nitriles, acids, alcohols. Besides, synthetic utility this strategy also showcased by construction natural chiral monoterpenoid carveol. This protocol can be scaled gram-scale synthesis alcohols, which underscores potential industrial applicability our system secondary alcohols on larger scale.
