Reaction Steps

The solution of 3-Methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (3.71 g, 13.4 mmol), NBS (2.39 g, 13.4 mmol), and AIBN (235 mg) in CCl4 (20 ml) was heated at 80° C. for 14 hours. The mixture was cooled to 25° C., and was filtered and washed with CCl4. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and was diluted with EtOAc. The solution was washed with water and brine and was dried with Na2SO4. Concentration gave 3-Bromomethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (4.9 g).
