Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-cyano-5-(3-formyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy)benzoate (15.7 g) in methanol (150 mL) was added sodium borohydride (646 mg, 17.0 mmol) portionwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was acidified with 6 M HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (6:4 to 4:6 hexane/ethyl acetate) followed by recrystallization from methanol/water to give 5-(4-cyano-3-methoxycarbonylphenoxy)-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole (6.34 g, 62%).
