2,5-Dimethylbenzeneboronic acid

Applications (2,5-Dimethylphenyl)boronic Acid is a useful synthetic intermediate. It can be used to prepare fluorenones/indenofluorenediones. References Liu, T., et al.: Org. Lett., 13, 2452 (2011)

2,5-Dimethylphenylboronic acid is a boronate ester that can be used in cross-coupling reactions to produce organic compounds. This compound is a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of cycloalkyl groups. It is resistant to thermal decomposition and can be used as a monomer for polymerization reactions. 2,5-Dimethylphenylboronic acid has been shown to react with chlorobenzene and chloride ions to form an interdigitated product. The molecular electrostatic potential of this compound is negative, which provides an indication of its nucleophilic nature. Additionally, the fluorescence resonance of the 2,5-dimethylphenylboronic acid molecule indicates that it may be susceptible to light emission when excited by a laser at 532 nm wavelength. The gel permeation chromatography technique was utilized to confirm the purity of this product.
