Phenylboronic acid or benzeneboronic acid, abbreviated as PhB(OH) 2 where Ph is the phenyl group C 6 H 5 - and B(OH) 2 is a boronic acid containing a phenyl substituent and two hydroxyl groups attached to boron. Phenylboronic acid is a white powder and is commonly used in organic synthesis.
It has the formula [(CH 3) 4 C 2 O 2 B] 2; the pinacol groups are sometimes abbreviated as "pin", so the structure is sometimes represented as B 2 pin 2. It is a colourless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a commercially available reagent for making pinacol boronic esters for organic synthesis.

4-Formylphenyl boronic acid crystallizes in colorless needles [1] or is obtained as an odorless, whitish powder, which dissolves little in cold but better in hot water. The compound is quite stable [3] and readily forms dimers and cyclic trimeric anhydrides, which complicate purification and tend to protodeboronize, a secondary reaction that occurs frequently in the Suzuki coupling, with ...
The pinacol reaction is extremely well-studied and tolerates many different reductants, including electrochemical syntheses.Variants are known for homo- and cross-coupling, intra- and inter-molecular reactions with appropriate diastereo- or enantioselectivity; [2] as of 2006, the only unsettled frontier was enantioselective cross-coupling of aliphatic aldehydes.

Pinacolborane is the borane with the formula (CH 3) 4 C 2 O 2 BH. Often pinacolborane is abbreviated HBpin. [1] It features a boron hydride functional group incorporated in a five-membered C 2 O 2 B ring. Like related boron alkoxides, pinacolborane is monomeric. It is a colorless liquid. [2] It features a reactive B-H functional group. [3]
Protodeboronation is a well-known undesired side reaction, and frequently associated with metal-catalysed coupling reactions that utilise boronic acids (see Suzuki reaction). [1] For a given boronic acid, the propensity to undergo protodeboronation is highly variable and dependent on various factors, such as the reaction conditions employed and ...
Trimethyl borate is a popular borate ester used in organic synthesis. Borate esters form spontaneously when treated with diols such as sugars and the reaction with mannitol forms the basis of a titrimetric analytical method for boric acid. Metaborate esters show considerable Lewis acidity and can initiate epoxide polymerization reactions. [4]
