               1. A method for producing a boron-containing compound, comprising: 
              a step of reacting a first raw material compound represented by the following formula (I-1): 
              ![]() with a second raw material compound represented by the following formula (II-1): 
              ![]() in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst to obtain a boron-containing compound represented by the following formula (III-1): 
              ![]() wherein RA1, RA2, RA3, RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4, RB5 and RB6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent group, provided that at least one of RA1, RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4, RB5 and RB6 is a boron-containing group that binds to a binding target through a boron atom.

               6. A boron-containing compound represented by the following formula (III-1): 
              ![]() wherein RA1 represents a monovalent group, 
                RA2, RA3, RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4, RB5 and RB6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent group, 
                provided that at least one of RA1 and RB1 is a boron-containing group that binds to a binding target through a boron atom, 
                wherein one of RB5 and RB6 is a hydrogen atom, and the other is a monovalent organic group or a halogeno group.
