Description:1,4-Benzenediboronic acid, with the CAS number 4612-26-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two boronic acid functional groups attached to a benzene ring at the 1 and 4 positions. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. It is known for its ability to form stable complexes with diols, making it useful in various applications, including organic synthesis and materials science. The boronic acid groups can participate in Suzuki coupling reactions, which are valuable in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in organic chemistry. Additionally, 1,4-benzenediboronic acid can serve as a building block in the synthesis of polymers and other complex molecules. Its reactivity and functional versatility make it an important compound in the development of pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many boron-containing substances, due to potential irritant properties.
