Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-bromo-2-piperidin-1-ylpyrimidine (1.00 g, 4.15 mmol) in freshly distilled THF (5.2 mL), was purged with argon and cooled to −78° C. To the cooled reaction mixture was added drop-wise a solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (2.5 M, 1.99 mL, 4.98 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 10 minutes and then added dropwise over 10 minutes to a solution of trimethyl borate (0.559 mL, 4.98 mmol) in THF (5.2 mL), which had been purged with argon and cooled to 0° C. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for a further 20 minutes, followed by addition of acetic acid (0.356 mL, 6.22 mmol). After a further 5 minutes of stirring, a 30% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (0.517 mL, 4.57 mmol) was added dropwise and stirring continued at 0° C. for 5 minutes. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium bisulfite (50 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with a saturated aqueous brine solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered over Celite™ and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified using silica gel chromatography eluting with 25% EtOAC in hexane to afford the title compound (728 mg, 98%):
