About methyl 3-cyano-4-(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate

methyl 3-cyano-4-(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (CAS Number: 1258963-20-0) is a boronic acid derivative valued for its role in carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions featuring a Dioxaborolane (Pinacol boronate) ring with defined stereochemistry. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

The boron atom in this compound enables transmetalation with palladium catalysts, making it a cornerstone reagent for Suzuki coupling — one of the most widely used reactions in pharmaceutical process chemistry. Ester hydrolysis by cellular esterases is the most commonly exploited prodrug activation mechanism — enabling drugs that cannot cross biological membranes as free acids. The nitrile group is a bioisostere for both carboxylic acids and amides, and has emerged as a covalent warhead in next-generation kinase inhibitors like saxagliptin and neratinib.

Primary applications include suzuki–miyaura cross-coupling for biaryl and heterobiaryl synthesis and prodrug development to mask carboxylic acids and improve membrane permeability. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, medicinal chemistry, diagnostics sectors. Whether you require methyl 3-cyano-4-(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Storage & Handling for Boronic Acid / Boronate Esters

Handling Guidelines

Boronic acids are generally air-stable but some may be moisture-sensitive and undergo protodeboronation. Handle with gloves and safety glasses. Some esters are volatile and flammable. Handle in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from ignition sources. Some nitriles may release HCN upon decomposition. Handle in a well-ventilated fume hood with a cyanide antidote kit accessible. Handle with standard precautions. Ensure proper labeling of stereochemical identity to prevent mix-ups.

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature under dry conditions. Protect from prolonged moisture exposure. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container away from heat and open flame. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep tightly sealed and away from acids and strong bases. Store under recommended conditions. Some chiral compounds may racemize at elevated temperatures or in the presence of base.
