Product Information
4-Carboxyphenylboronic Acid
4-Carboxyphenylboronic Acid (CAS Number: 14047-29-1) Supplier in Europe
Physical Details and Properties
4-Carboxyphenylboronic Acid (C₇H₇BO₄) is an organoboronic acid appearing as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It has a molecular weight of 165.94 g/mol, a melting point of 220–225°C (decomposes), and a relative density of approximately 1.4. It is moderately soluble in water (2.5 g/100ml at 20°C), soluble in methanol and DMSO, and insoluble in non-polar solvents like hexane. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may degrade in strong acidic or oxidizing environments.
