Uses
3-Acetylphenylboronic acid can be used as a substrate:
- In the synthesis of symmetric biaryls via oxidative dimerization using a palladium catalyst and water as a solvent.
- In the synthesis of aryl fluorides through electrophilic fluorination reaction using acetyl hypofluorite.
- In the coupling reactions of organoboranes with olefins using molecular oxygen and palladium catalyst.
