Trifluoroacetic acid → 4-(4-{1-Ethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-3-butyn-2-ol

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (0.8 mL) was added to a solution of 2-(4-{1-ethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-(4,4,4-trifluoro-3-methoxymethoxy-3-trifluoromethyl-1-butynyl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (Example 25-(4); 284 mg, 0.464 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 mL) in a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for six hours. Then, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0 to 70:30) to give the target product as a colorless oil (142 mg, 54%).
