Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenol (1.5 g) and ethyl bromoacetate (0.91 mL) in DMF (10 mL) was added potassium carbonate (1.41 g), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 5 hr. The reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (1.77 g).
