摘要:
A robust three-step telescoped process for the preparation of electron-deficient amide-substituted arylboronic acids from readily available bromobenzoic acids has been developed. An EDC-HOBT-promoted amide formation of a bromobenzoic acid was followed by subjection of the product stream to a palladium-mediated cross-coupling with B-2(pin)(2). The resultant mixture of the arylboronate ester and arylboronic acid was directly treated with NaIO4, followed by a heptane- MeTHF crystallization, to cleanly afford the corresponding arylboronic acid in good yield. This general procedure was used to synthesize electron-deficient amide-substituted arylboronic acids with a diverse array of electron-withdrawing substituents.
