1-bromo-4-(octyloxy)benzene (14.64 g, 51.3 mmol) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran in nitrogen atmosphere and cooled to −78° C. Butyllithium (50 ml, 80.0 mmol) was then added drop wise and the reaction mixture was let to room temperature. After an hour the mixture was once again cooled to −78° C. and triethylborate (23.6 g, 0.162 mol) was added drop wise. The reaction mixture was stirred over night at room temperature, acidified with 2M HCl, and the organic phase was recovered. It was washed once with water and three times with 1M sodium hydroxide to form a white soapy solid. The combined alkaline phases were acidified with 2M HCl and extracted with ether three times. The combined ether phases were washed with water and dried over magnesium sulphate. The product precipitated in dichloromethane from the reduced ether phase to yield 4-(octyloxy)phenylboronic acid (7.15 g, 28.6 mmol) as a white solid.
