Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl(phenylethynyl)isopropoxyborane

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was run following the method of Example 14 using methyldiisopropoxyborane (6.34 g, 44 mmol) in ethyl ether (44 mL) and phenylethynyllithium (4.9 mmol) in ethyl ether (50 mL), then quenched with hydrogen chloride (14.33 mL, 49 mmol). Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure at ambient temperature to yield 7.45 g (91%) of the title product; n20D 1.5290; proton NMR (CDCl3) δ7.23 (m, 5H), 4.73 (septet, J=18 Hz, 1H), 1.23 (d, J=18 Hz, 6H), 0.53 (bs, 3); boron NMR (EE) δ+40.2 ppm(s). Mass spectrum (chemical ionization, isobutene) m/e 187 (M+H, 6%); IR (thin film) 2178, 1326 cm-1.
