2,2-Dimethylethenylboronic acid is a useful reagent in the preparation of prostaglandins via 1,4-conjugate addition.
(1) the use of dichloromethane, at 10 ~ 60 conditions, the use of 3,3-dimethyl acrylic acid, and bromine reaction 3 ~ 4h, after the end of the reaction using a base to adjust the PH to 9 ~ 10,30 ~ 60 conditions of the reaction for 2 ~ 3h, the reaction is static after the end of the stratification, the organic layer distillation to obtain 2,2-dimethyl vinyl bromide;
(2) using tetrahydrofuran, at a temperature of -76 ~ -40 C, using 2,2-dimethyl vinyl bromide, in the lithium metal and boronization reagent under the action of the reaction 2 ~ 3h, using hydrochloric acid to adjust the PH to 3 ~ 4, using ethyl acetate extraction, concentrated organic layer by non-polar hydrocarbon solvent slurrying and filtration, drying to obtain 2,2-dimethyl vinylboronic acid.
