As Lewis acids, boronic acids can bind with 1,2- or 1,3-diols in aqueous solution reversibly and covalently to form five or six cyclic esters, thus resulting in significant fluorescence changes.

Association constants between diphenylborinic acid and representative analytes capable of reversible two-point covalent binding (diols, catechols, and hydroxy acids) were determined using an indicator-displacement assay. Unlike boronic acids, which have been studied in great detail as receptors for diols and related compounds, borinic acids have effectively been ignored as candidates for such applications. The results of this study indicate that diphenylborinic acid displays high affinity for certain analytes of this type in aqueous solution. Of particular interest are differences between the selectivity of the borinic acid and that of a boronic acid of similar pKa towards the series of analytes studied: the borinic acid displays an unusually high level of discrimination for catechols over carbohydrates. The distinct selectivity observed, and the unique opportunities for steric and electronic tuning of diarylborinic acids, suggest that these compounds hold significant potential for applications in aqueous-phase molecular recognition.

Abstract(4+3)-Annulations are incredibly versatile reactions which combine a 4-atom synthon and a 3-atom synthon to form both 7-membered carbocycles as well as heterocycles. We have previously reviewed transition-metal-catalyzed (4+3)-annulations. In this review, we will cover examples involving bases, NHCs, phosphines, Lewis and Brønsted acids as well as some rare examples of boronic acid catalysis and photocatalysis. In analogy to our previous review, we exclude annulations involving cyclic dienes like furan, pyrrole, cyclohexadiene or cyclopentadiene, as Chiu, Harmata, Fernándes and others have recently published reviews encompassing such substrates. We will however discuss the recent additions (2010–2020) to the literature on (4+3)-annulations involving other types of 4-atom-synthons.1 Introduction2 Bases3 Annulations Using N-Heterocyclic Carbenes3.1 N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs)3.2 N-Heterocyclic Carbenes and Base Dual-Activation4 Phosphines5 Acids5.1 Lewis Acids5.2 Brønsted Acids6 Boronic Acid Catalysis and Photocatalysis7 Conclusion

Boronic acids are widely used in various applications in view of their ability to recognize and bind at specific sites of the biological molecules to mimic several processes. Therefore, this has attracted the researchers, academician and medical expertise to explore them. In the present work, the authors have designed a theoretical approach to study the interaction of boronic acid with insulin using computational tools. A library of boronic acids (114 compounds) are designed, optimized and interacted with insulin using computational tools i.e. iGEMDOCK. Further, their different biological activities and toxicity are determined. Results indicates the promising potential of the boronic acids on interaction with the insulin. Amongst, 114 molecules of boronic acids, 3-Benzyloxyphenylboronic acid (71) showed the best interaction with amino-acids of insulin and significant interaction was shown with the Glu21 and His5 residues. Further, these results were compared with the stabilizing agents and found to be more potent.

The successful application of (DPEPhos)Ni(mesityl)Br (C1) as a pre-catalyst in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of heteroaryl chlorides or bromides and heteroaryl boronic acids is reported. The use of C1 in this context allows for such reactions to be conducted under mild conditions (2 mol% Ni, 25 °C), including cross-couplings leading to unsymmetrical biheteroaryls. Successful transformations of this type involving problematic pyridinyl boronic acid substrates (10 mol% Ni, 60 °C) are also described.
