(4-Cyano-3-methylphenyl)boronic acid(CAT: L037068) is an organoboron compound featuring a cyano group at the 4-position and a methyl group at the 3-position of a phenyl ring, with a boronic acid group (-B(OH)₂) attached. This compound is widely used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, where it serves as a boronic acid reagent for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The presence of both electron-withdrawing (cyano) and electron-donating (methyl) groups makes it a versatile building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Its boronic acid functionality allows for strong interaction with transition metal catalysts, enhancing its utility in various chemical transformations.
