Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The solution of 1-methylpyrrole-2-carbonitrile (0.131 g, 1.23 mmol), triisopropylborate (250 μL, 1.08 mmol), and THF (4 mL) was cooled to about −4° C. and 2M LDA (0.6 mL, 1.2 mmol) was added dropwise from a syringe. The bath was removed and the suspension was allowed to warm to about 13° C. within about 2 hours. After cooling and quenching with water and 5% aqueous HCl, the product was extracted with diethylether. The organic layer was evaporated to give an oil which solidified upon standing to give 0.130 g (70% yield) of (5-cyano-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl) boronic acid. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.38, 6.87, 6.77, and 3.88.
