To a solution of 1-but-3-enyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazole (0.85 g, 6.9 mmol) in THF (15 ml) 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (0.5 M in THF, 30.3 ml, 15.2 mmol) was added dropwise at 0° C. and stirring continued for 2 h. This mixture was then added to a solution of (4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2 g, 6.89 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (0.56 g, 0.69 mmol) and aqueous cesium carbonate (6.89 ml, 3M) in DMF (30 ml) and stirred for 3 h at 70° C. Water (100 ml) was added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified on silica gel (ethyl acetate) to yield [2-Fluoro-4-(4-[1,2,3]triazol-1-yl-butyl)-phenyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as light yellow solid. Yield 1.93 g (84%)
