5-Indolylboronic acid

White to light yellow crystal powde

Reactant involved in the synthesis of biologically active molecules including:

• Indole inhibitors of MMP-13 for arthritic disease treatment
• Substituted pyrimidines acting as tubulin polymerization inhibitors

Reactant involved in Suzuki coupling reactions for synthesis of

• Aryl- hetarylfurocoumarins
• Aryl-substituted oxabenzindoles and methanobenzindoles

Reactant involved in:

• Oxidative cross-coupling with mercaptoacetylenes
• Trifluoromethylation

Indole-5-boronic acid is a useful reagent for palladium and copper catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of mercaptoacetylenes and arylboronic acids. A reagent used in the synthesis of other biologically active molecules.
