2-Tolylboronic acid (Cat No.: M088393) is an organoboron compound featuring a boronic acid group attached to the ortho-position of a methyl-substituted phenyl ring. This white to off-white crystalline solid is commonly used in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl and aryl-alkyl bonds, making it valuable in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material synthesis. Its ortho-substitution influences reactivity and steric interactions, enabling regioselective transformations. 2-Tolylboronic acid serves as a key building block in the preparation of complex aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.
