3-(2′-Methoxybenzyloxy)phenylboronic acid
3-(2′-Methoxybenzyloxy)phenylboronic acid (CAS: 1072952-02-3; Formula: C14H15BO4; Molar Mass: 258.08 g/mol) is a versatile aryl boronic acid derivative. It serves as a key building block in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions. Its structure, featuring a protected hydroxyl group and a boronic acid moiety, makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules in pharmaceutical research and materials science.

Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions
This compound is frequently employed as a coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. It enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, introducing the substituted phenyl ring into diverse molecular architectures for drug discovery and material development.
Organic Synthesis Intermediate
As a functionalised boronic acid, it acts as a valuable intermediate for introducing specific structural motifs. The methoxybenzyloxy protecting group can be selectively removed, allowing for further derivatisation at the oxygen atom.
Pharmaceutical Research
Its utility in constructing complex organic molecules makes it a sought-after reagent in medicinal chemistry programmes aimed at developing novel therapeutic agents.
Materials Science
Aryl boronic acids are increasingly used in the development of advanced materials, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and conductive polymers, where precise structural control is essential.
