preparation | potassium acetate (2.5g, 24.4 mmol) is added to a solution of 4-bromobenzenesulfonamide (2.00g, 9.32 mmol) and bis (pinacol) diboron (2.40g, 9.32 mmol) in DMSO(20 ml) and degas the mixture for 45 minutes. Then [1,1 '-bis (diphenylphosphino) ferrocene] dichloropalladium (II)(220 mg, 0.26 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 90°C for 16 hours. Once cooled, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc(30 ml), washed with water (3 × 30 ml), dried with MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was ground from Et2O(50 ml) and HCl(1M,50 ml), the resulting solid was dissolved in CH2Cl2(30 ml) and filtered through a silicone pad cleaned with Et2O, and then concentrated to obtain phenylsulfonamido-4-boric acid as an off-white solid, with a 13% yield of 550 mg. |
