Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-2-[(3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)methoxy]-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine (Preparation 4, 4.5 g, 12.5 mmol) was suspended in methanol (30 mL). Hydrogen peroxide (1.6 mL, 21.3 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 16 hours. An aqueous solution of thiosulfite (10%, 10 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×200 mL). The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (Biotage®, gradient of 0-50% EtOAc in heptane) to afford the title compound (2.53 g, 81%):
