Reaktionsschritte

1,2-Dibromoethane (˜0.3 ml) was added to 6.10 g (0.25 mol) of magnesium turnings in 1000 cm3 of THF. This mixture was stirred for 10 min, and then 55.3 g (0.25 mol) of 1-bromo-2-methylnaphtalene was added by vigorous stirring for 3.5 h at room temperature. Further on, 46.5 g (250 mmol) of 2-isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane was added in one portion. The resulting mixture was stirred for 15 min and then poured into 1000 cm3 of cold water. The product was extracted with 3×300 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed by water, brine, dried over MgSO4, and, finally, evaporated to dryness. The formed white solid was washed by 2×75 ml of pentane and then dried in vacuum. Yield 47.3 g (70%). Anal. calc. for C17H21BO2: C, 76.14; H, 7.89. Found: C, 76.21; H, 7.96. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.12 (m, 1H, 8-H), 7.77 (m, 1H, 5-H), 7.75 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, 4-H), 7.44 (m, 1H, 7-H), 7.38 (m, 1H, 6-H), 7.28 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, 3-H), 2.63 (s, 3H, 2-Me), 1.48 (s, 12H, CMe2CMe2).
