Water → 4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-2-[3-((R)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethoxymethyl)phenyl)-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon stream, to a solution of (R)-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-ol (3.32 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (43 ml) was added portionwise sodium hydride (1.16 g, 60 wt % oil dispersion) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. Then, 2-(3-bromomethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (4.32 g) was added thereto, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. To this reaction mixture were sequentially added water and a 2M aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. This organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/0 to 19/1) to give the titled compound (3.43 g).
