2-Isopropoxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane can be used as a reagent to borylate arenes and to prepare fluorenylborolane.
It can also be used in the synthesis of following intermediates for generating conjugated copolymers:
- 9,9-Dioctyl-2,7-bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl1,3,2-dioxaborolane-2-yl)dibenzosilole.
- 3,9-Bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-5,11-di(1-decylundecyl)indolo[3,2-b]carbazole.
- 2,7-Bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-9,9-dioctylfluorene.
- 2,7-Bis(4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyl-1′,3′,2′-dioxaborolan-2′-yl)-N-9′′-heptadecanylcarbazole.
