MIDA Boronates: Stable Boronic Acid Surrogates for Classically Challenging Cross-Couplings


MIDA boronates are stable boronic acid surrogates used for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. These reagents enable the coupling of historically unstable organoboron species; including those containing 2-heterocyclic, vinyl, and cyclopropyl moieties.


Benefits of MIDA Boronates:
  • Bench-top and chromatographically stable
  • Good solubility properties and monomeric in nature
  • Controlled in-situ slow-release allows for the cross-coupling of classically challenging substrates
