Triethylamine → 2-(4-(3-Fluorophenoxy)phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 250 mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 4-(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenol (5 g, 22.72 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in dichloromethane (100 mL), (3-fluorophenyl)boronic acid (3.5 g, 25.01 mmol, 1.10 equiv), Cu(AcO)2 (5 g), 4A molecular sieves (15 g), and triethylamine (4.6 g). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solids were filtered out and the filtrate was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was loaded onto a silica gel column and eluted with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:100-1:50) to give 1.8 g (25%) of 2-[4-(3-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane as a colorless oil.
