Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[4-methoxy-2-methyl-6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-4-oxo-butyric acid methyl ester (0.33 g, 0.87 mmol) in MeOH (3 mL) was added NaBH4 (0.073 g, 1.92 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes, quenched with 6 N HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in CH3CN and treated with polymer-bounded benzyl boric acid (2 equiv) for 2 hours. The mixture was filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel flash column chromatography to give 3-(1-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4-methyl-1,3-dihydro-benzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-3-yl)-propionic acid methyl ester (0.160 g, 69%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD-d4) δ 6.98 (s, 1H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 5.25 (m, 1H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 2.50-2.30 (m, 6H), 1.77 (m, 1H).
