Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzene-1,2-diamine (1.20 g, 5.1 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (910 mg, 5.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The resulting solution was acidified with 1 N HCl (10 mL) and extracted twice with 50 mL portions of Et2O. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.0 g (79%) of 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.46 (dd, 1H), 7.40 (s, 1H), 7.35 (dd, 1H), 1.35 (s, 12H). MS (EI) for C13H17BN2O3: 261 (MH+).
