2,6-Dimethoxypyridine-3-boronic acid is a boronic acid that can be used in cross-coupling reactions. In this process, an organic compound reacts with a metal to produce a new organic compound. The pyridine ring of 2,6-dimethoxypyridine-3-boronic acid is shown in the X-ray crystal structure of the molecule. This molecule has two different isomers which are 2,6-dimethoxypyridine and 3,5-dimethoxypyridine. The orientation of these isomers can be systematically changed by rotating the molecule about its central carbon atom. These changes affect the photophysical properties of this molecule. The trimethylated derivative of 2,6-dimethoxypyridine-3-boronic acid has been synthesized and found to have efficient emissions when excited with light at wavelengths between 400 and 470 nm.
