Diethyl Ether → 2-Chloro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzeneboronic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-chloro-4-(dihydroxyboryl)benzoic acid (1.00 g, 5.10 mmol), N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) and diethyl ether (1 ml) was added dropwise a 0.6 M trimethylsilylazide-hexane solution (10.2 mL, 6.12 mmol), and the resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. Acetic acid was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, and the precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from water to give the title compound (0.46 g, yield 42%) as colorless crystals.
