4-Acetylphenylboronic acid is a boronate, belongs to a class of synthetic organic compounds. It reacts rapidly with peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) to form stable hydroxy derivatives.It undergoes Suzuki coupling with 4-bromotriphenylamine catalyzed by dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)Pd(II), during the synthesis of dendrimers Application 4-Acetylphenylboronic acid was used in the synthesis of 4′-azidoacetophenone. Reactant involved in: Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling Copper-catalyzed hydroxylation Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling Cross-coupling with α-bromocarbonyl compounds Oxidation catalyzed by Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases 1,5-substitution reactions
