After 30 minutes, 4.5 mL (39.4 mmol) of trimethylborate was added. The reaction was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 3 hours prior to the addition of 60 mL of 5% NaOH. The reaction was stirred for an additional 60 minutes, the THF removed in vacuo, and the pH adjusted to ca. 4. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate; the resulting solution was dried over Na2S04 and concentrated in vacuo to give 1.7 g (50%) of [6 (4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl] boronic acid as a pale yellow solid: NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.00 (br s, 2H), 6.06 (s, 2H), 6.75 (s, 1H), 7.08-7.17 (m, 2H), 7.26 (s, 1H), 7.31-7.39 (m, 2H).
