Isopropylboronic acid(CAS: 80041-89-0)

Isopropylboronic acid, with the CAS number 80041-89-0, is an organic compound containing a boronic acid group attached to an isopropyl moiety. Its chemical formula is C3H8BO2. It is a colorless liquid with a slight odor, typically used in chemical synthesis due to its reactivity and functional group versatility.

Isopropylboronic acid is primarily used in pharmaceuticals as a precursor for drug synthesis, in the production of borate esters, and in organic chemistry for coupling reactions. It also finds applications in industrial processes and research involving boron-based compounds and functional group transformations.

Isopropylboronic acid is generally considered safe when handled properly, but it may cause skin and eye irritation. Protective measures such as gloves, goggles, and a well-ventilated environment are recommended. It should be stored away from incompatible materials and handled according to standard chemical safety protocols.

Isopropylboronic acid should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture. It is best kept in a sealed, airtight container at a temperature below 25°C. Avoid exposure to air and incompatible substances to ensure stability and safety.
