Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 2-(5-Bromo-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-6-methyl-1,3,6,2-dioxazaborocane-4,8-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-fluoropyridin-3-ylboronic acid (14.87 g, 67.7 mmol) (Frontier Scientific) and 2,2′-(methylazanediyl)diacetic acid (10.95 g, 74.4 mmol) (Aldrich) were dissolved in toluene (242 mL) and DMSO (97 mL) and the resulting mixture was heated at reflux under a Dean Stark trap for 2 h. After water (>2.5 mL) was collected in the trap, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to remove toluene, and water was slowly added to the resulting solution until the desired product precipitated as a white solid. This solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water, and dried in a vacuum oven to give the title compound (82% yield) as a fluffy white solid. m/z (ESI, +ve ion) 330.8/332.9 (M+H)+.
