Abstract Suzuki coupling is a widely used, well-studied and versatile method in synthetic chemistry for development of C–C bonds where palladium-based catalysts have been used extensively the reaction to date. We report Suzuki-cross-coupling formation between aryl halides phenylboronic acid by using Metal/metal oxide@Reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites being efficient, simple cost-effective. ...

[reaction: see text]. The copper acetate mediated intramolecular O-arylation of phenols with phenylboronic acid pseudopeptides is the key step in the preparation of macrocyclic biphenyl ether hydroxamic acid inhibitors of collagenase 1 and gelatinases A and B. The intramolecular macrocyclization was found to be mild and tolerant of common chemical functionality. This methodology should provide ...

We investigated the use of functionalized photonic block copolymer films for the detection of glucose. Polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) block copolymers were chemically functionalized with 2-(bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid and cast into films that reflect a visible color when exposed to aqueous media. The 2-(bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid functionality can reversibly bind to glu...

Drug/gene transportation systems with stimuli-responsive release behaviors are becoming research hotspots in biochemical and biomedical fields. In this work, a glucose-responsive supramolecular nanocluster was successfully constructed by the intermolecular complexation of phenylboronic acid modified β-cyclodextrin with adamantane modified polyethylenimine, which could be used as a biocompatible...

A novel boronic acid fluorophore 1/beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD) complex sensor for sugar recognition in water has been designed. The probe 1 bearing pyrene moiety as a fluorescent signal transducer exhibits no fluorescence emission, due to its aggregation in water containing 2% DMSO; however, the addition of beta-CyD to this solution largely changes UV-vis and fluorescence spectra of 1 by formi...

A glucose-sensitive inverse opal hydrogel was synthesized through photopolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid within the interstitial space of a dried poly(styrene) colloidal crystal template, followed by template removal. Charged complex formation between the phenylboronic acid functional group and the 1,2-cis-diol glucose resulted in reversible swelli...

Here described is a phenylboronic acid (PBA) based glucose-responsive hydrogel operating under physiological pH and temperature, a material potentially applicable to a totally synthetic smart insulin delivery system to treat diabetes.

We report the formation of a tetrapallada-macrocycle induced by an unusual transmetallation, in which an anionic bidentate chelate ligand is replaced by a phenyl ligand from phenylboronic acid, leaving the chloride ligands intact.

Au nanoparticles with small sizes (1-4 nm) were effectively formed on Mg-Al mixed oxides (Au/MAO), which showed superior catalytic performances and good recyclability in aerobic homocoupling of phenylboronic acid.
