Trimethyl borate → HCID 57799148, compound

To a stirred solution of 5-bromo-7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxine (Preparation 28, 1.5 g, 6 mmol) in dry Et2O (45 ml) under nitrogen at −70° C. was added n-butyl lithium (2.63 ml of a 2.5M solution in hexane, 6.6 mmol) and the resultant mixture stirred for 1 hour. Trimethyl borate (0.92 ml, 8 mmol) was then added and the mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl was added (60 ml) and the aqueous layer extracted with diethyl ether (3×100 ml). The combined organic extracts were concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in 1M aqueous NaOH and washed with diethyl ether (100 ml). The aqueous layer was then acidified with 2N aqueous HCl (pH 2) and extracted with diethyl ether (3×100 ml). The organic extracts were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a white solid (1.12 g, 87% yield).
