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.
The general structure of a boronic acid, where R is a substituent.. A boronic acid is an organic compound related to boric acid (B(OH) 3) in which one of the three hydroxyl groups (−OH) is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group (represented by R in the general formula R−B(OH) 2). [1]
Pinacolyl alcohol (also known as 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol and as pine alcohol) is one of the isomeric hexanols and a secondary alcohol. Pinacolyl alcohol appears on the List of Schedule 2 substances of the Chemical Weapons Convention as a precursor for the nerve agent soman .
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.
Pinacol is a branched alcohol which finds use in organic syntheses. It is a diol that has hydroxyl groups on vicinal carbon atoms. A white solid that melts just above room temperature, pinacol is notable for undergoing the pinacol rearrangement in the presence of acid and for being the namesake of the pinacol coupling reaction .
The Miyaura borylation has shown to work for: Alkyl halides, [2] aryl halides, [1] [3] [4] aryl halides using tetrahydroxydiboron, [5] aryl halides using bis-boronic acid, [6] aryl triflates, [7] aryl mesylates, [8] vinyl halides, [9] vinyl halides of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, [10] and vinyl triflates.
For the 2-pyridine boronic acid, the zwitterionic compound is responsible for its rapid protodeboronation under neutral pH, through a unimolecular fragmentation of the C-B bond. In fact, the addition of acid (H+) or hydroxide (OH-) acts to attenuate protodeboronation by shifting the speciation away from the reactive zwitterion.
The reaction is named after pinacol (also known as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol or tetramethylethylene glycol), which is the product of this reaction when done with acetone as reagent. The reaction is usually a homocoupling but intramolecular cross-coupling reactions are also possible. Pinacol was discovered by Wilhelm Rudolph Fittig in 1859.
