Product Information

• Name: Benzo[b]thiophene-3-boronic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Benzo[b]thiophene-3-boronic acid is a boronic acid that can be used in the synthesis of estranes. It is a key intermediate for organic chemists, who use it as a building block for synthesis of organic molecules. This compound can be obtained through electrochemical oxidation of benzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylic acid with a palladium electrode and an electrolyte solution. The reaction is performed in an evaporator, which removes the solvent and leaves a solid residue. The final product can be purified by recrystallization or distillation. Benzo[b]thiophene-3-boronic acid reacts with electron-rich aromatic compounds to form cross-coupling products, which are often used as ligands in metal complexes.
