Merck, 679453-1G, 2-(Bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid

General description
May contain varying amounts of anhydride.
Application
2-(Bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
Boronic acid-functionalized benzyl viologen (o-BBV) from 4,4′-bipyridine. o-BBV finds its application as a chemosensor to sense glucose in aqueous water.
2-(azidomethyl)phenylboronic acid, which is further employed in the preparation of isoquinoline derivatives.
Aryl boronic acid derivatives as fluorescent probe for hydrogen peroxide detection.

Reactant involved in:
Studies of carbon-boron bond cleavage of phenylboronate-pendant cyclen
Development of a sensory system to detect glucose or other monosaccharides and hydroxycarboxylates
Synthesis of boronated triaryl and tetraaryl phosphonium salts used in cytotoxicity studies
Colorimetry and fluorometry mercury determination with chemosensors composed of rhodamine and boronic acid groups
Synthesis of imidazolium-containing boronic acids used as fluoride ion sensors
Reactions with adenine for molecules with antiinflammatory antitumor activities
