Described herein is a Rh-catalyzed tunable defluorinative borylation of allylic gem-difluorides to provide allylborylated monofluoroalkenes or homoallylborylated monofluoroalkenes with excellent Z/E selectivities. Completely different reaction paths were observed by slightly changing the reaction conditions. Allylborylated monofluoroalkenes were further converted into dihydroxyl-containing monofluoroalkenes.
