Abstract

A number of primary aliphatic boronic acids have been prepared and their chemical behavior has been investigated. These acids were found to be inert toward various reagents which effect cleavage of the boron-carbon bond of the aromatic boronic acids. The anhydrous boronic acids undergo autooxidation in air but the presence of water inhibits the oxidation. Aqueous hydrogen peroxide converts the boronic acid to the corresponding ...
