4-Vinylbenzeneboronic acid

4-Vinylbenzeneboronic acid is a boronate ester that is used as a reaction component and a reagent in organic synthesis.

4-Vinylphenylboronic acid is a chemical that has been shown to be stable in neutral pH conditions. It can be used as an optical sensor for dopamine and human serum, as well as a fluorescence probe for the detection of glucose in urine samples. 4-Vinylphenylboronic acid has also been used in cationic polymerization reactions, such as the production of poly(vinyl alcohol) by the reaction between vinyl acetate and 4-vinylphenylboronic acid with an amine initiator. This compound can also be used to synthesize divinylbenzene via a suzuki coupling reaction.
