Product Information

• Name: Bis(catecholato)diboron
• Synonyms: 2,2'-Bi-1,3,2-benzodioxaborole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bis(catecholato)diboron is a boron compound with the formula B(OCHCOOH). It is a colorless solid that reacts with acids to form the corresponding esters. The trifluoroacetate anion, BFOCO- can be used as a nucleophile in organic synthesis reactions. This reaction mechanism is catalyzed by acid or base. Bis(catecholato)diboron has been shown to be a good catalyst for coupling reactions of hydroxy group radicals with alkoxy radicals, which are synthesized from fatty acids and alcohols. The yield of this reaction is high, typically greater than 90%.
