  • Patent number: 8785651
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a boronic acid ester compound, characterized by reacting an aryl halide compound and a diboron ester compound in the presence of a nitrogen-containing organic base, a nickel catalyst, a phosphine compound and a solvent. According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, even if a nickel catalyst is used as the catalyst, a desired boronic acid ester compound can be obtained in a sufficiently high yield. Furthermore, even if aryl chloride or aryl bromide having relatively low price and low reactivity, was used as the aryl halide compound, a desired boronic acid ester compound can be obtained in a sufficiently high yield.
