Phenylboronic acid,  or benzeneboronic acid is widely utilized in various cross coupling reactions for example Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, etc. It serves as a receptor for carbohydrates, antimicrobial agents and enzyme inhibitors in biological reactions. It acts as a reagent in palladium-catalyzed stereoselective Heck-type reaction and as a catalyst in Ni(II) pincer complex and Pd(II) pyridoxal hydrazone metallacycles. It is also employed as a sensor for neutron capture therapy for cancer, transmembrane transport and bioconjugation and labeling of proteins and cell surface.

This has been utilized to trap cis-diols, in order to prevent over-oxidation during dihydroxylation reactions catalyzed by Osmium(VIII)­ oxide: Chem. Lett., 1721 (1988); J. Org. Chem., 63, 7322 (1998).

 

Promotes the ortho-hydroxalkylation of phenols by aldehydes. The cyclic boronate, formed via a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, is the key intermediate: Synthesis, 365 (1979):

Forms a stable chiral acyloxyborane (CAB) catalyst with tartaric acid derivatives, which catalyze hetero Diels-Alder reactions, e.g. between aldehydes and 1-Methoxy-3-trimethyl­siloxy-1,3-butadiene, to give enantioselectively, dihydro-4-pyrone derivatives: Tetrahedron, 50, 979 (1994).


The most widely-used reaction of arylboronic acids is the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls: Synth. Commun., 11, 513 (1981):
