30. More than 170 MIDA boronates are currently commercially available from Aldrich as of November 2013.
31. When we started this research, meta-phenol MIDA boronate was already commercially available, while ortho- and para-phenol MIDA boronates were not commercialized at that time. However, para-phenol MIDA boronate 2f was commercialized by Aldrich very recently.
32. MIDA 3 is not soluble in acetone, while the resulting phenol MIDA boronates 2 are soluble in acetone. Using the difference in solubility between 3 and 2, unreacted 3 could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration.
33. The major by-product was the MIDA boronate from boric acid, which was one of the products of protodeboronation of 1.
34. MIDA boronates 2 from boronic acids 1 and that from boric acid have similar solubility and polarity, which makes them very difficult to separate by conventional purification methods.
