Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(4-carboxy-2-hydroxyphenoxy)-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole (1.95 g, 6.82 mmol) and sulfuric acid (1.5 mL) in ethanol (75 mL) was refluxed for 6 h. Water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Silica gel column (6:4 to 5:5 hexane/acetone) followed by recrystallization from diisopropyl ether gave 5-(4-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-hydroxyphenoxy)-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole (1.65 g, 77%).
