3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile

3-Chloro-4-fluoro-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile is an organoboron compound characterized by a benzonitrile core substituted with chlorine, fluorine, and a pinacol boronate ester group. Its molecular formula is C13H14BClFNO2 and its molecular weight is 281.52 g/mol. The pinacol boronate ester moiety makes it highly reactive in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, enabling the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. The presence of halogen atoms (chlorine and fluorine) on the aromatic ring provides additional sites for further functionalization or can influence the electronic properties of target molecules. This compound is primarily utilized as a functionalized intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules for research purposes.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of dust or vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard information and safe handling procedures.
