Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Carboxyphenyl-boronic acid (CPBA, Example 1, 0.25 g, 1.51 mmol) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (0.26 g, 2.26 mmol) were dissolved in 8.5 ml DMF using a magnetic stirrer. 20 ml of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) was then added, and the solution was stirred for 10 minutes. N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide (DCC, 0.93 g, 4.52 mmol) in 3 ml CH2Cl was then added. The solution was left to react under a nitrogen atmosphere overnight (approx. 12 hours) at ambient temperature, and then filtered to remove the insoluble urea byproduct (DCU). The title compound was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.
