Application
2-Methoxyphenylboronic acid, appearing as a white to light yellow crystalline powder, is primarily utilized to study the role of boron in plant biology. It is notably applied in the Suzuki reaction, a type of organic coupling reaction that involves a boronic acid reacting with a halide under the catalysis of a palladium(0) complex. As a member of the arylboronic acids, 2-Methoxyphenylboronic acid serves as a versatile and environmentally friendly reagent for the synthesis of various fine chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and advanced materials. The interactions of arylboronic acids with halogenated compounds are crucial in contemporary pharmaceutical synthesis, a field significantly advanced by Suzuki and his team's Nobel Prize-winning work in 2010.
