Reaction Steps

Triethylphosphite-carbomethoxyborane (4) (1.13 g, 4.75 mmol) and Me3SiI 2.70 ml, 18.97 mmol) were taken in anhydrous CH3CN (45 ml) under nitrogen atmosphere. Immediately, the mixture became brown. It was heated at reflux for 3 hours. During this time, the brown color completely disappeared, the mixture was cooled, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a yellow solid. 11B NMR (CDCl3) : ∂=15 ppm, br. s., 0.2 ppm, br. s., major and a multiplet at -39 ppm, very small amount.
