Procedure

4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenol (CAS #269409-70-3) (10.5 g, 47 mmol) was dissolved in dry CH3CN (200 mL) and dry, pulverized K2CO3 (10.4 g, 75 mmol) was introduced. 1,3-dibromopropane (38.1 mL, 375 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for 7 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. The cooled reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to an oily residue, which was applied to a column of silica gel. Elution initially with hexanes, gradually increasing polarity to a mixture of hexanes/ethyl acetate (25:1, 20:1 and 10:1) as eluent, provided the title compound (13.93 g, 86%) which crystallized on standing to a white solid, m.p. 62-65° C.
