	abstract = {An efficient and general method for the chemoselective synthesis of unsymmetrical gem-diborylalkanes is reported. This method is based on a novel late-stage desymmetrization via nucleophilic {\textquotedblleft}trifluorination{\textquotedblright}, providing chiral gem-diborylalkanes bearing a trifluoroborate group. The reaction offers a highly modular and diastereoselective approach to synthesize gem-diborylcyclopropanes. The utility of the gem-diborylalkane building blocks was demonstrated by selective post-functionalization of the trifluoroborate group. These functionalizations include inter- and intra- Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.\&nbsp;                    },
