Product Information

• Name: 3-Methoxythiophene-2-boronic acid

Description

3-Methoxythiophene-2-boronic acid is a chiral compound that has been used to prepare the first example of a cyclic photophysical molecule with an advanced structure. This compound can be reversibly cyclized by light, and it undergoes photoinduced electron transfer in the presence of a suitable acceptor. The mechanism of this reaction is not yet fully understood, but it may involve an excited state charge transfer process. 3-Methoxythiophene-2-boronic acid is also used as a ligand for asymmetric catalysis to form chiral products. It was first prepared by crystallographic studies on its complex with chiral rhodium complexes, which revealed the molecular mechanism of this photochemical reaction.
