Application

2-Formylphenylboronic acid pinacol ester can be used as a starting material to prepare:
  • Profluorescent probe applicable for the detection of H2O2 and Fe or Cu ions in living cells.
  • Boronic acid pinacol ester derived nickel porphyrin, which is used to synthesize molecular spin switches and electron transfer dyads.
  • Fluorescein hydrizido 2-imidophenylboronic ester, a fluorescent sensor prochelator applicable in the detection of copper ions.
