Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with potassium carbonate (0.56 g, 4.0 mmol) and acetone (20 mL). To the suspension was added N-[2-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-methanesulfonamide (1.0 g, 3.4 mmol) followed by iodomethane (0.25 mL, 4.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (20 mL), filtered through a plug of diatomaceous earth, rinsed with dichloromethane and evaporated to a viscous oil. The material was subjected to high vacuum for 18 hours. N-Methyl-N-[2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-methanesulfonamide was isolated as a white solid (1.01 g, 95%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, ppm): 7.81 (dd, J=7.5, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.47 (ddd, J=7.9, 7.9, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (dd, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.35-7.30 (m, 1H), 3.32 (s, 3H), 2.93 (s, 3H). MS=334 (M+Na)+.
