Procedure

S-(−) Propylene oxide (152 μL) was added to a mixture of 500 mg of 3-mercaptophenylboronic acid and aluminum oxide (˜30 eq, neutral, activated, ˜150 mesh) in diethyl ether at room temperature. The reaction was monitored by LC/MS until complete. The reaction mixture was evaporated, and then added 1N HCl. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 3-((S)-2-hydroxypropylthio)phenylboronic acid (414 mg, 90%). The crude product was directly used for next step reaction without purification.
