Diisopropylamine → 2-Fluoro-5-(2-methoxyethoxy)pyridin-3-ylboronic acid

Temperature

0 °C

To a stirred solution of diisopropylamine (Aldrich, 3.03 mL, 21.2 mmol) in THF (30 mL) in 250 mL round-bottomed flask, nBuLi (Aldrich, 2.5 M in hexanes, 8.12 mL, 20.3 mmol) was added slowly at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. The mixture was cooled to −78° C. and 2-fluoro-5-(2-methoxyethoxy)pyridine (1.58 g, 9.23 mmol) in a total of 5 mL THF was added slowly. The orange mixture was stirred at that temperature for 30 min then triisopropyl borate (Aldrich, 4.72 mL, 20.3 mmol) in a total of 5 mL of THF was added slowly. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 10 min, then the cold bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. 1 N NaOH (about 70 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was washed with EtOAc (50 mL) and acidified to about pH with 5N HCl. The aq phase was extracted with EtOAc (4×50 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (50 mL). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-fluoro-5-(2-methoxyethoxy)pyridin-3-ylboronic acid (1.76 g, 89% yield) as a pale yellow residue. This material was used without further purification.
