2-(4-fluorocyclohexyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane

Uses

The incorporation of fluorine in agrochemical and pharmaceutical compounds is of high interest due to the ability to fine-tune the polarity, pKA-value, conformation and metabolic stability. Derived from a cis-selective hydrogenation developed by Glorius and coworkers, this boronic ester can be used in various organometallic transformations.
