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]
Boronic acids and esters are classified depending on the type of carbon group (R) directly bonded to boron, for example alkyl-, alkenyl-, alkynyl-, and aryl-boronic esters. The most common type of starting materials that incorporate boronic esters into organic compounds for transition metal catalyzed borylation reactions have the general ...
An organic group's migration propensity depends on its ability to stabilize negative charge: alkynyl > aryl ≈ alkenyl > primary alkyl > secondary alkyl > tertiary alkyl. [32] Bis(norbornyl)borane and 9-BBN are often hydroboration reagents for this reason — only the hydroborated olefin is likely to migrate upon nucleophilic activation.
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 Petasis reaction exhibits high degrees of stereocontrol when a chiral amine or aldehyde is used as a substrate. When certain chiral amines, such as (S)-2-phenylglycinol, are mixed with an α-keto acid and vinyl boronic acid at room temperature, the corresponding allylamine is formed as a single diastereomer.
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.
Names of acyl groups of ribonucleoside monophosphates such as AMP (5′-adenylic acid), GMP (5′-guanylic acid), CMP (5′-cytidylic acid), and UMP (5′-uridylic acid) are adenylyl, guanylyl, cytidylyl, and uridylyl respectively. In phospholipids, the acyl group of phosphatidic acid is called phosphatidyl-. Finally, many saccharides are acylated.
B(C 6 F 5) 3 forms a strong Lewis adduct with water, [5] which was shown to be a strong Brønsted acid having an acidity comparable to hydrochloric acid (in acetonitrile). [6] In consequence, even traces of moisture are able to deactivate B(C 6 F 5) 3 and remaining catalytic activity might only be due to the Brønsted acidity of the water adduct.
