Reaction Steps

The title bis-acid compound was prepared by hydrolysis of the corresponding carboxylic acid ethyl ester. Ethyl 6-(1-hydroxy-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-5-yloxy)nicotinate (2.99 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in freshly opened THF (100 mL), and 1N NaOH (38 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under N2 overnight. Then 6N HCl (6.5 mL) was added, rotary evaporated to remove THF, filtered and washed with water and then hexane. The solid was dried overnight under high vacuum to afford the title bis-acid compound (2.57 g, 9.48 mmol, yield 94.8%) as a slightly brown solid.
