Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example 1c, by reacting 3 g of (4-bromo-2-ethylphenyl)diethylamine (11.7 mmol) with 5.2 mL of a 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium and 3.2 mL (14 mmol) of triisopropyl borate, 0.9 g of 4-diethylamino-3-ethylphenylboronic acid (yield=35%) is obtained in the form of a white solid.
