2-Indanylboronic acid pinacol ester, 95%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Boronic acids react with alcohols, with loss of water, to form boronic esters. With simple alcohols, the products are very susceptible to hydrolysis, but with 1,2- and 1,3-diols, the resulting cyclic boronates (1,3,2- dioxaborolanes and 1,3,2-dioxaborinanes) are stable enough to be isolated.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
