5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-1-bromobenzene (10 g, 0.03 mol) is dissolved in THF (250 ml), and the temperature is brought to −78° C. n-Butyllithium (1.33 molar solution in hexanes, 34.6 ml,) is added dropwise over 30 minutes, maintaining the temperature at around −78° C. The reaction mixture is stirred for one and half hours, then trimethylborate (4.9 g, 0.05 mol) is added dropwise and the reaction mixture stirred for two hours. A solution of 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 ml) is added dropwise, and once the addition is complete the mixture is stirred for two hours. The mixture is concentrated to remove most of the tetrahydrofuran, then diluted with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic extracts are washed with water and brine, combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. The residue is further purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 7% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 5-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-methylphenylboronic acid (5.4 g).
