Tributyl borate → 2-Fluoropyridine-4-boronic acid

Temperature

-78 °C

To a stirred solution of n-butyl lithium (3.2 mL 2.5M, 8.0 mmol) in dry diethyl ether (20 mL) at −78° C. was added a solution of 2-fluoro-4-iodopyridine (1.5 g, 6.7 mmol) in dry ether (10 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 10 minutes. Tributyl borate (2.4 mL, 2.01 g, 8.7 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature over 2 hours. Water (5 mL) was added followed by 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10 mL) to dissolve the solids. The organic phase was separated. The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 3 using 6N hydrochloric acid and the resulting white solid was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give the title compound, 0.74 g (78%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.65 (broad s, 2H), 8.21 (d, 1H), 7.59 (t, 1H), 7.37 (d, 1H).
