Description

Boronic acid is a reactive chemical that can be used in organic synthesis. It is commonly used as a ligand, which is an atom or molecule that binds to metal ions. Boronic acid reacts with ethylene to form polyethylene boronate (PEB), which is a biodegradable polymer with potential for use in medical devices and drug delivery systems. Boronic acids are also useful for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters and anomeric ethers. This reaction mechanism can be used to synthesize bioactive molecules, such as chiral alcohols and phenols, in one step from readily available starting materials. Boronic acid has been shown to have anti-cancer properties due to its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by interfering with DNA replication and protein synthesis.
