2-Fluoro-5-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile

2-Fluoro-5-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by a fluorinated and methylated benzonitrile core, substituted with a 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl (pinacol boronate) group. With a molecular formula of C14H17BFNO2 and a molecular weight of 261.10, this compound serves as a valuable functionalized intermediate. The pinacol boronate moiety makes it highly reactive in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. The presence of fluorine and a nitrile group also offers opportunities for further derivatization and introduces specific electronic and steric properties, making it useful in the synthesis of complex molecules for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation. 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.
