Abstract
The synthesis of 2-(arylaminomethyl)phenylboronic acid via an amination–reduction reaction has been investigated within a model system comprising 2-formylphenylboronic acid and N-ethylaniline. Adoption of the appropriate reaction conditions influences the reactivity of 2-formylphenylboronic acid, enabling efficient synthesis of so-far unobtainable 2-(arylaminomethyl)phenylboronic compounds. The first crystal structure of the aromatic amine derivative has been determined and described.
