Sodium trityl oxide with 2-(bromomethyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane [pinacol (bromomethyl)boronate (1)] in dimethyl sulfoxide efficiently yields 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-[(triphenylmethoxy)methyl]-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (3), which can be transesterified with chiral diols to form other [(triphenylmethoxy)methyl]-1,3,2-dioxaborolanes. These can undergo chain extension with (dichloromethyl)lithium in the normal manner and are potentially useful synthetic intermediates. The majority of known boronic esters are liquids, but the trityl group confers crystallinity on several examples. Six structures have been determined: 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-[(triphenylmethoxy)methyl]-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (3), [R-(4 alpha,5 beta)]-4,5-dicyclohexyl-2-[(triphenylmethoxy)methyl] (4), [S-(4 alpha,5 beta)]-4,5-bis(1-methylethyl)-2-[(triphenylmethoxy)methyl]-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (5), (R)-pinanediol ((trityloxy)methyl)boronate (ent-6), (S)-pinanediol (S)-(1-chloro-2-(trityloxy)ethyl)boronate (7a), and (S)-pinanediol (S)-(1-bromo-2-(trityloxy)ethyl)boronate (7b). The 1,3,2-dioxaborolane ring is very nearly planar, consistent with strong oxygen-boron pi-bonding.
