Procedure

4-Chloro-2-iodobenzoic acid (5.0 g, 18 mmol) was dissolved in THF (40 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Borane-THF complex (1M in THF) (35 mL, 35 mmol) was added by syringe. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was monitored by LCMS and TLC. When the reaction was complete, water was added until gas evolution ceased and then the THF was removed under vacuum. EtOAc (100 mL) was added, and the organic layer was washed with water (3×50 mL), brine (3×50 mL), dried with MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo resulting in a white solid.
