General description

May contain varying amounts of anhydride.

Application

2-(Bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Boronic acid-functionalized benzyl viologen (o-BBV) from 4,4′-bipyridine. o-BBV finds its application as a chemosensor to sense glucose in aqueous water.
  • 2-(azidomethyl)phenylboronic acid, which is further employed in the preparation of isoquinoline derivatives.
  • Aryl boronic acid derivatives as fluorescent probe for hydrogen peroxide detection.

Reactant involved in:
  • Studies of carbon-boron bond cleavage of phenylboronate-pendant cyclen
  • Development of a sensory system to detect glucose or other monosaccharides and hydroxycarboxylates
  • Synthesis of boronated triaryl and tetraaryl phosphonium salts used in cytotoxicity studies
  • Colorimetry and fluorometry mercury determination with chemosensors composed of rhodamine and boronic acid groups
  • Synthesis of imidazolium-containing boronic acids used as fluoride ion sensors
  • Reactions with adenine for molecules with antiinflammatory antitumor activities
