20. The screening of ligands clarified the notion that DPPB is suitable for the regioselectivity in the present catalysis. Other ligands diminished the regioselectivity in some cases: see the Supporting Information.
21. 2 in pinacolborane was suggested by: Shimada, S.; Batsanov, A. S.; Howard, J. A. K.; Marder, T. B. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 2168-2171.

25. The use of catecholborane (HBcat) under the same reaction conditions as entry 5, Table 1 gave a mixture of 1-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethanol in 82% yield with 93/7 ratio after the oxidation of the crude boronate compounds. The preceding reports detailed the difference between HBpin and HBcat; see ref 3i and: Lam, W. H.; Shimada, S.; Batsanov, A. S.; Lin, Z.; Marder, T. B.; Cowan, J. A.; Howard, J. A. K.; Mason, S. A.; McIntyre, G. J. Organometallics 2003, 22, 4557-4568. A mechanistic investigation will be carried out in due course in future studies.

29. Other counteranions, such as pivalate and benzoate, gave similar results.
30. The reaction in DMSO as a solvent gave better results in some cases. The details are described in the Supporting Information.
31. The reaction of a 1,1-disubstituted ethylene, such as a-methylstyrene, gave a mixture of regioisomers. We have not examined the reaction of trisubstituted ethylenes due to insufficient regioselectivity.
32. 31P NMR experiments were examined; however, the precise characterization of the Rh(III) intermediate is difficult. Details of the NMR experiments are described in the Supporting Information. Further investigation is ongoing to clarify Rh(III) intermediates.

34. Iacac did not promote the reaction at all (entry 3, Table 1). In addition, the distilled HBpin can promote the present reaction. The generation of a borate-Rh(I) complex does not seem to be essential.
