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.
Examples of boronic esters Boronic ester Diol Structural formula Molar mass CAS number Boiling point (°C) Allylboronic acid pinacol ester: pinacol: 168.04: 72824-04-5: 50–53 (5 mmHg) Phenyl boronic acid trimethylene glycol ester: trimethylene glycol: 161.99: 4406-77-3: 106 (2 mm Hg) Diisopropoxymethylborane: isopropanol: 144.02 86595-27-9: ...
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.
Basic heteroaromatic boronic acids (boronic acids that contain a basic nitrogen atom, such as 2-pyridine boronic acid) display additional protodeboronation mechanisms. [4] A key finding shows the speciation of basic heteroaromatic boronic acids to be analogous to that of simple amino acids , with zwitterionic species forming under neutral pH ...
The mechanism of organotrifluoroborate-based Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions has recently been investigated in detail. The organotrifluoroborate hydrolyses to the corresponding boronic acid in situ, so a boronic acid can be used in place of an organotrifluoroborate, as long as it is added slowly and carefully.

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]
When a pinacol is not symmetrical, there is a choice for which hydroxyl group will leave and which alkyl shift will occur. The selectivity will be determined by the stability of the carbocations. In this case although both choices are tertiary, the phenyl groups result in significantly higher stabilization of the positive charge through resonance.
Industrially pinacolone is made by the hydrolysis of 4,4,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane, which is the product of isoprene and formaldehyde via the Prins reaction. It also is generated by ketonization of pivalic acid and acetic acid or acetone over metal oxide catalysts. 3-Methylbutanal is a starting material for 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, which in turn is ...
