Overview
3-Methylphenylboronic acid (CAS: 619-82-5) is a key organic intermediate with molecular formula C7H9BO2. Produced via lithium-halogen exchange or directed metallation, it serves as a vital building block in cross-coupling reactions for pharmaceutical synthesis.
Application
- Synthesis of kinase inhibitors and anti-cancer agents.
- Manufacturing of liquid crystals for display technologies.
- Production of specialized agrochemical herbicides.
Precautions
Store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection due to potential respiratory irritation upon dust inhalation.
