Borylation

Borylation is a chemical process where a boron atom is introduced into an organic molecule. This technique enables chemists to modify and build complex compounds more efficiently, especially in pharmaceuticals and materials science. Using catalysts and specific reaction conditions, borylation allows selective attachment of boron groups to particular parts of a molecule, making it easier to create new chemicals or optimize existing ones. The resulting boron-containing compounds often serve as versatile intermediates, which can be further transformed into a wide range of useful products.
