Product Description

What is 5-Formyl-2-furanboronic Acid?

This compound combines a boronic acid (the standard Suzuki-coupling handle) with an aldehyde on a furan ring, giving two independent reactive sites — the boronic acid for cross-coupling and the aldehyde for further condensation chemistry.

Uses of 5-Formyl-2-furanboronic Acid

This compound is used as a reactant in Suzuki cross-coupling manufacturing for dye-sensitized solar cell materials, and in pharmaceutical research toward HIF-1 inhibitor and ephrin-binding-inhibitor drug candidates.
