Reaction Steps

Into a solution of 4-(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (10.637 g, 28.3 mmol) in THF (200 ml), a solution of sec-butyllithium 1.4 M (27.2 ml, 38.1 mmol) in cyclohexane at −78° C. was added slowly. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours before quenching with 2-isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (8.65 ml, 42.4 mmol) added at one portion. The mixture was gradually warmed to room temperature, stirred overnight, and then quenched with methanol. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with a heptane/DCM (4/1 to 1/1) eluent and then precipitation in MeOH to yield 2-(6-(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-4-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (9.3 g, 65.5% yield) as a white solid.
