The mixture is stirred for 15 min at −80° C., then treated with a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (60 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×80 mL). The combined extracts are dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to yield the crude product which is purified by recrystallisation from ethyl acetate-hexane to give 2-methoxy-5-(pyridin-4-yl)phenylboronic acid as a beige crystalline solid, m.p. 194-200° C. and having the following physical characteristics:
