Procedure

A mixture of 2-Chloromethyl-3-methyl-benzofuran (675.9 mg, 3.75 mmol), 4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenol (825 mg, 3.75 mmol, 1 eq), K2CO3 (2.1 g, 15.2 mmol, 4 eq) in 20 mL of CH3CN was heat to reflux under nitrogen atmosphere. Reaction was complete after 12 hrs. Regular work-upwork up and column purification (5% EtOAc/hexane) to give 3-Methyl-2-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenoxymethyl]-benzofuran in 44% yield (601 mg). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 1.3 (s, 12 H) 2.3 (s, 3 H) 5.2 (s, 2 H) 7.0 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2 H) 7.3 (m, 2 H) 7.5 (dd, J=21.6, 7.7 Hz, 2 H) 7.8 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2 H).
