4-Butylphenylboronic acid
4-Butylphenylboronic acid (CAS: 145240-28-4; Formula: C10H15BO2; Molar Mass: 178.04 g/mol) is a monosubstituted aryl boronic acid utilised in organic synthesis. It serves as a key reactant in various palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, including the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. This compound is also employed in specific catalytic systems for esterification and Heck-type reactions, making it a versatile building block for complex molecule construction.

Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Couplings
4-Butylphenylboronic acid is a valuable substrate for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. These palladium-catalysed reactions are fundamental in forming carbon-carbon bonds, essential for synthesising biaryl compounds and complex organic molecules.
NHC-Iron Catalysed Esterification
This boronic acid acts as a reactant in NHC-Iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidative aromatic esterification of aldehydes. This application demonstrates its utility in greener synthetic methodologies for functional group transformations.
Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Heck-Type Reactions
It functions as a reactant in palladium-catalysed oxidative Heck-type reactions. This enables the synthesis of substituted alkenes and other unsaturated compounds through efficient C-C bond formation.
