Application

Phenylboronic acid is a versatile compound primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly for the production of various pharmaceutical products. It appears as a white to light yellow crystalline powder and, while insoluble in water and benzene, it dissolves readily in ether and methanol. Notably, phenylboronic acid can bind with sugars and other diol compounds to form cyclic boronate esters, which are useful in detecting sugars through electrochemical and optical methods due to their charged nature. This functionality allows phenylboronic acid to be employed as an integral component in electrochemical sensors, where it is absorbed onto electrodes either as a self-assembled monolayer or as a polymer film. Such sensors enable reagentless detection of specific compounds, enhancing analytical capabilities. Additionally, in optical detection techniques, phenylboronic acid is often modified with a chromophore that alters its properties upon reacting with sugars, facilitating sugar detection. Beyond its synthesis applications, phenylboronic acid's favorable water solubility and low cytotoxicity render it a promising candidate as a nuclear-targeted boron agent in neutron capture therapy for melanoma, demonstrating its potential in both scientific and medical fields.
