General description

Boric acid is a weak monobasic Lewis acid(electron pair acceptor), which finds application in the areas of glass making,fire retardant, lubrication agent, antiseptic agent, fertilizer, buffer, and neutronabsorber.

Application

Boric acid can be used as a catalyst to synthesize:
  • N-substituted cinnamamides via amidation reaction between cinnamic acid and benzylamines.
  • β-Aminoalcohols through the regioselective epoxides ring opening with aromatic amines in the presence of glycerol as a co-catalyst.
  • Organosulfur compounds via thia-Michael addition of thiols to α, β-unsaturated compounds.
It can also be used as an activator for the solvent-free reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols in the presence of sodium borohydride.
