Pyridine → Phenyl (4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl 1,3,2 dioxaborolan-2-yl) aniline (3 g, 0.013 mol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (350 mL) to which pyridine (1.02 g, 0.013 mol) and 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate was added. The reaction was stirred for 13 hr where TLC analysis showed consumption of all starting materials. The solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 (3×50 mL), water (3×50 mL) and brine (3×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and solvent removed to yield a white crystalline solid [4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-carbamic acid phenyl ester, 4.45 g, 91%. 1H NMR (CDCl3 300 MHz) δ 1.4 (s, 12H), 7.1 (brs, 1H), 7.3 (d, 2H), 7.5 (d, 2H), 7.8 (d, 2H), 8.3 (d, 2H).
