WO 99/64428 PCT/US99/13105 -1 SYNTHESIS OF ARYL BORONIC ACIDS This application is a continuation of United States application Serial No. 09/094,511 filed 10 5 June 1998. FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the synthesis of aryl boronic acids. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 10 The use and effectiveness of Grignard reagents in ethereal solvents to alkylate or arylate non-metal compounds was established in the first half of the Twentieth Century. See, Kharasch, M.S., Reinmuth, 0., "Grignard Reactions of Nonmetallic Substances", 15 Prentice-Hall, New York (1954). Known aryl boronic acid synthesis typically entails concurrent or dual addition of substantially equimolar amounts of a trialkyl borate ester and an aromatic Grignard reagent to a reaction vessel at a 20 temperature of less than -60'C, wherein a reaction mixture containing an aryl boronic acid ester is produced in a 30% to 50% yield. The ester is separated and hydrolyzed to provide the desired aryl boronic acid. 25 Aryl boronic acids are now in substantial commercial use to synthesize biaryl compounds by the palladium catalyzed cross-coupling "Suzuki" reaction. See, e.g., A. Suzuki, et al., Syn.Commun. (1981) 513- WO 99/64428 PCT/US99/13105 -2 519; Y. Young, et al., Acta Chem.Scand. (1939) 42:221 230; G.B. Smith, et al., J.Org.Chem. (1994) 598:8151 8156; S. Sengupta, et al., J.Org.Chem. (1997) 62:3405 3406. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved 5 aryl boronic acid synthesis. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has been found, contrary to the prior art, that neither temperatures below -60'C nor control of reactant mole ratio is necessary during the synthesis 10 of the aryl borate alkyl diesters. Pursuant to this invention, the synthesis of aryl borate diesters is accomplished at a temperature of from about -100 to OC by direct addition of the Grignard to the trialkyl borate or conversely in any desired mole ratio. 15 Hydrolysis of the aryl borate diesters may be accomplished in situ in synthesis reaction mixture with an aqueous mineral, preferably, aqueous sulfuric acid, in known manner. This invention typically provides aryl boronic yields approximately 20-40% greater than 20 those achieved by the prior art. More specifically, the invention may provide aryl boronic acid yields of from about 50% to about 70% based on the trialkyl borate reactant. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 25 The invention may, but need not be, practiced as a one pot method. A Grignard reagent is prepared in known manner in an appropriate ethereal solvent, preferably at the greatest concentration resulting in a WO 99/64428 PCT/US99/13105 -3 solution. Any ethereal solvent compatible with Grignard formation may be used. Useful solvents may be ethers which are cyclic, e.g., tetrahydrofuran, or which have the formula ROR, in which R is an alkyl 5 group preferably having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Pursuant to the invention, an aryl boronic acid triester is synthesized at a temperature of -10'C to 0 0 C as illustrated by equation 1: 10 ArMgX+B(OR) 3 T -10'C to O'C > ArB (OR) 2 +ROMgX (1) Yield = 50-70%. The Grignard aryl (Ar) groups may be substituted at one, some, or all available positions by any halogen 15 (chlorine, bromine, fluorine or iodine), or by any straight or branched chain, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or by any functional group compatible with or protected by standard methods to be compatible with the Grignard function. Phenyl, 20 4-fluorophenyl and naphthyl groups are typical Grignard aryl groups. The alkyl borate reactant (B (OR 3 )) is preferably used in an amount greater than stoichiometric with respect to the ArMgX reagent. For example, from about 25 1.1 to 2.0, preferably about 1.5 moles, of B(OR 3 ) may be used for each mole of ArMgX. Each of the R groups may be any alkyl group. Appropriate R groups have one to ten carbon atoms. R is preferably methyl.
WO 99/64428 PCT/US99/13105 -4 The hydrolysis of the aryl boronic acid diester (equation 2) may be performed in known manner, e.g., by combining a mineral acid, preferably aqueous H 2

A flask of appropriate size to accommodate the reaction volume as well as the volume of the aqueous acid hydrolysis solution is set up under a sweep of inert atmosphere and equipped for reflux and cooling. 15 Trialkyl borate, e.g., trimethyl borate diluted with an equal weight of an ethereal solvent, preferably THF, is charged to the flask in an amount to provide a mole ratio of ArMgX:B(OCH 3

The hydrolysis reaction mixture WO 99/64428 PCT/US99/13105 -5 forms an upper organic layer and a lower aqueous layer. The organic layer is separated, and then dried over sodium sulfate. Solvent is distilled until solids begin to precipitate. Hexanes are added, and the 5 precipitated product collected by filtration. The method described by this general example has yielded the results reported in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 2 5 (Phenyl Boronic Acid) A reaction flask was charged with trimethyl borate (1.5 moles, 155.7g) and tetrahydrofuran (300g). The mixture was cooled to a temperature of -5 0 C to OC. One mole of phenyl magnesium bromide was added 10 slowly with maintenance of the temperature between -5 0 C and 0 0 C. The reaction mixture was stirred for thirty minutes. Ten percent (10%) aqueous sulfuric acid was directly added to the Grignard reaction mixture which 15 contained the methyl ester of phenyl boronic acid. The resulting hydrolysis reaction mixture was stirred for thirty minutes and then allowed to settle for thirty minutes. The mixture separated into an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer was separated, dried 20 over sodium sulfate (10g), and filtered. The volume of the filtrate was reduced by distillation of THF, 300 ml of hexane was added, and the distillation continued until most of the THF was removed. The remainder of the reaction mixture was cooled and filtered to recover 25 solids which dried in vacuum. Yield-65% to 70% phenyl boronic acid.
