Diisopropylethylamine → Benzyl 4-(3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzamido)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzyl 4-aminobenzoate (4.39 g, 19.3 mmol), 3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoyl chloride (4.30 g, 16.1 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (7.49 g, 57.9 mmol) in methylene chloride (50 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 13 h. After this time, the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by chromatography (silica, heptane to 1:3 ethyl acetate/heptane) to afford benzyl 4-(3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzamido)benzoate (3.07 g, 78% pure by mass, 27% yield) as a light yellow sticky foam that was used without further purification.
