A modular, site‐selective 1,2‐dicarbofunctionalization of vinyl boronates with organic halides via dual catalysis is described. This protocol occurs under mild conditions and is characterized by its excellent chemo‐ & regioselectivity, thus unlocking a complementary new technique for preparing densely functionalized alkyl boron architectures from simple and accessible precursors.
