Reaction Steps

Iodomethane (0.283 mL, 4.52 mmol) was added to a mixture of 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2-ol (0.500 g, 2.262 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.563 g, 11.31 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL). The reaction vial was sealed and stirred at 50° C. for 16 h. The resulting mixture was filtered to remove the inorganic salt and the filter cake rinsed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated, treated with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and dichloromethane (20 mL), and filtered to remove the residual inorganic salt. The filtrate was concentrated and dried under vacuum to give crude 1-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one as white solid (399.4 mg). This material was used in subsequent Suzuki coupling reactions without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ ppm 7.76 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.60 (dd, J=9.2, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.52 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 3.55 (s, 3H), 1.31 (s, 12H).
