Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,2-diiodo-3,5-dimethylbenzene (0.5 g, 1.40 mmol) in 60 mL in a mixture of THF and Et2O (1:1), was added dropwise at −78° C. isopropylmagnesium chloride (2 M in THF, 0.70 mL, 1.40 mmol). After the mixture was stirred for 2 h at −78° C., B(OiPr)3 (0.96 ml, 4.19 mmol) was added. The solution was warmed to room temperature overnight, then a saturated solution of NH4Cl was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. The aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (50 mL, 3 times), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. To the concentrated sample, hexane was added and the resulting precipitate was isolated to provide the products as shown above as non separable mixture.
