3-Methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrophenyl boronic acid: high affinity diol recognition at neutral pH

Several boronic acids were screened for their ability to bind to diols. 3-Methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrophenyl boronic acid bound to both a catechol dye as well as fructose with a comparable affinity to that of an ortho-methylamino substituted boronic acid. This work suggests a greater role for appropriate...

Zusammenfassung:Several boronic acids were screened for their ability to bind to diols. 3-Methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrophenyl boronic acid bound to both a catechol dye as well as fructose with a comparable affinity to that of an ortho-methylamino substituted boronic acid. This work suggests a greater role for appropriately functionalized electron deficient boronic acids in diol and carbohydrate recognition. The nitro-boronic acid can be a substitute for the ortho-aminomethyl aryl-boronic acid motif for carbohydrate recognition.
