2-Methoxypyrimidine-5-boronic acid

Uses2-Methoxypyrimidine-5-boronic acid serves as a coupling partner in Suzuki–Miyaura reactions to synthesize diverse heterocyclic scaffolds. It reacts with intermediates such as compound 26 or 6-bromo-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-coumarin using potassium carbonate and palladium catalysts (e.g., Pd(OAc)₂ or 1,1′-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene palladium dichloride) in solvents including DMF or deep eutectic systems at 85 °C. The reagent also couples with 2-(4-((4-chloro-6-morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)ethan-1-ol in DME/aqueous sodium carbonate under microwave heating[1][2][3]. The compound participates in Liebeskind–Srögl couplings with thioester or amide intermediates (such as series 18a–18c or 20a–20f) using tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) and copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate in THF at 100 °C, yielding target products in ranges of 22–55% or 29–50%[1].
