The past two decades have witnessed phenomenal advances in the synthetic, biological, and medicinal applications of organoboronic acid derivatives. In particular, a large number of novel synthetic processes have signifi cantly expanded the breadth of usefulness of boronic acids as a class of substrates. As a result, most chemists in academia and industry now make use of boronic acids in synthetic chemistry, be it for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling or other reactions. This in turn has created a new market for suppliers of functionalized boronic acids.
Following the huge success of the fi rst edition of Boronic Acids, which has become THE reference source for everyone working in the field, this completely updated edition is expanded by almost 50%. The renowned boron chemist Prof. Dennis Hall is joined by a select group of expert authors to cover all modern aspects of boronic acid derivatives in one comprehensive handbook.
From the reviews of the first edition:
?... this excellent book deserves to be on the bookshelf of all synthetic chemists, whether in discovery or process chemistry.?
Organic Process Research & Development Journal
?Hall states at the outset that his task was to provide the fi rst comprehensive book on the chemistry and biology of boronic acids; this he has
done, but at the pace of current developments, a second edition might not be so long in arriving.?
