Procedure

A solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (1.7 mL of 2.5 M, 4.25 mmol) is added to a stirred solution of 4-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine (Example 1b; 1.06 g, 4 mmol) and triethylborate (0.62 g, 4.2 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) at −85° C. under an argon atmosphere. The mixture is stirred for 15 min at −80° C., then treated with a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (60 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×80 mL). The combined extracts are dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to yield the crude product which is purified by recrystallisation from ethyl acetate-hexane to give 2-methoxy-5-(pyridin-4-yl)phenylboronic acid as a beige crystalline solid, m.p. 194-200° C. and having the following physical characteristics:
