15.1 Step 1 : 2-(4-bromo-2,3-dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolane
To a solution containing l-bromo-4-iodo-2,3-dimethylbenzene (975 mg, 3.14 mmol) in THF (20 mL), cooled to -78 °C in a dry ice acetone bath, was added dropwise BuLi (1.380 mL, 3.45 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min and 2- isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.768 mL, 3.76 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 30 min at -78 °C and warmed to approximately -10 °C for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride (5 mL). The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with water (2 X 20 mL) and sat. aq. NaCl solution (1 X 20 mL), dried (Na2S04), filtered and concentrated. The crude product was dissolved in a small amount of DCM and charged to 24 g ISCO silica gel Column and purified using the Teledyne ISCO system, eluting over a 15 min gradient with 0%-30% hexanes/ethyl acetate to obtain 2-(4-bromo-2,3-dimethylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2- dioxaborolane (15B) (620 mg, 1.993 mmol, 63.6% yield. NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) d 7.48-7.38 (m, 1H), 7.30-7.27 (m, 1H), 2.56 (s, 3H), 2.41 (s, 3H), 1.37 (s, 12H). |
