Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound (10.5 g, 93%) was prepared from ethyl(2R)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanoate, (10.0 g, 27.5 mmol) and bis(pinacolato)diborane (7.69 g, 30.3 mmol) by a procedure analogous to that described for (+/−)-ethyl 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-4-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]butanoate as described in Preparation 3 step A.
