6-Bromohexylboronic acid can be used as:
- A substrate in the radical alkylation reactions of boronic acids using organic photocatalysts.
- A substrate in the Ag(I) catalyzed difluoromethylthiolation of various boronic acids using S-(difluoromethyl) benzenesulfonothioate.
- A starting material in the synthesis of fluorescent carbon nanodots applicable in the estimation of tannic acid in wine samples.
