Low‐valent nickel is shown to preferentially isomerize mono‐or disubstituted epoxides into
their corresponding aldehydes. Experiments with tetrasubstituted epoxides demonstrate that
these reactions proceed via reactive 2‐nickelaoxetane intermediates, and that the oxidative
addition step likely occurs with retention of configuration. The monosubstituted aldehyde
isomerization products were found to rapidly react with HBpin to form boronate esters. These
hydroboration reactions could be performed catalytically.
