Product Information

• Name: Pentafluorobenzeneboronic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pentafluorobenzeneboronic acid is a boronic acid that is used in the synthesis of cationic polymers for use as an environmentally friendly alternative to perfluoroalkyl compounds. Pentafluorobenzeneboronic acid can be synthesized by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and pentafluorophenol. The energy efficiency of this molecule is low, which makes it an attractive candidate for use in polymer synthesis. Pentafluorobenzeneboronic acid reacts with nucleophiles at its α carbon to form a covalent linkage, which is reversible under certain conditions. This chemical has been shown to react with β-unsaturated ketones and trifluoroacetic acid to form polyenes with control experiments being done by adding ammonia gas or water to the reaction mixture.
