Product Information
2-Methylthiophene-3-boronic acid (MTBA) is a boron compound used in organic synthesis. It is a nucleophile that reacts with electrophiles to form an addition product. MTBA is used in the protodeboronation reaction to convert 2-methylthiophene into 3-methylthiophene, which can be used for the synthesis of other chemicals. This compound can also be used to synthesize 3-methylthiophene from 3-methylthiophenol via the miyaura reaction. The lithiation and selective protodeboronation reactions are both efficient methods for converting 2-methylthiophene into 3-methylthiophene. The regioselective method selectively converts one of the two possible methyl groups into the desired product, while the regioisomeric method produces two different products from one reactant. Finally, 2-Methylthiophene-3-boronic acid can be
