CAS 4426-47-5: n-Butylboronic acid

1-Butylboronic acid is used as a reagent for preparation of volatile derivatives of diols, e.g. carbohydrates, for GC and mass spectrometry and to prepare chiral oxazaborolidines. It is a precursor to unsymmetric borinic acids, which are inhibitors of serine proteases. Can be used as a transport carrier in membrane-based sugar separations and as an analytical reagent in the determination of serum glucose.

n-Butylboronic acid is a chemical reagent that is used in organic synthesis and as an additive to fuels. It is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other chemicals. The chemical has been detected at a low concentration in human liver and blood. It can be found in the ethyl esters of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, which are also called n-butylbenzoates. n-Butylboronic acid is a cationic surfactant that binds to serine protease and prevents it from acting on its substrate. These properties make it useful for chromatographic techniques as well as hydroxyl group analysis by spectrometry or chromatography.
