General description

4-Mercaptophenylboronic acid is a stable boronic acid that can be used as a reagent in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to prepare useful building blocks via C-C bond formation.

Application

4-Mercaptophenylboronic acid can be used to functionalize Fe3O4-C-Au magnetic microspheres to synthesize core−shell structure Fe3O4-C-Au magnetic microspheres for the selective enrichment of glycoproteins and glycopeptides.

Other Notes

The difference in gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) aggregation caused by different mixing orders of AuNPs, 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been scarcely reported. We have found that the color change of a ((4-MPBA + AuNPs) + H2O2) mixture

A fluorescent array based on the use of saccharide-functionalized multicolored quantum dots (s-QDs) and of 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid-functionalized MoS2 nanosheets (PBA-MoS2) was constructed for multiple identification and quantitation of lectins and bacteria. In this array, the fluorescence of the s-QDs is quenched by

Molecular recognition based on specific intermolecular interactions is essential for the design of sensors with high selectivity. Herein, we report the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) behaviour of 4-mercaptophenyl boronic acid (MPBA) on self-assembled silver nanoparticles and its interaction with d-glucose.

A nanoaggregate-on-mirror (NAOM) structure has been developed for molecular and biomolecular detection using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The smooth surface of the gold mirror allows for simple and homogeneous functionalization, while the introduction of the nanoaggregates enhances the Raman signal

A highly selective and sensitive colorimetric sensor based on aggregation-induced color change of 4-mercaptophenylboronic modified gold nanoparticles was designed for the determination of fluoride anion. The 4-mercaptophenylboronic modified gold nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple one-pot reaction. The aggregation process
