Product Description
4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester, also known as tert-butyl N-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate, is an arylboronic acid pinacol ester with a Boc-protected amine group. Its chemical formula is C₁₇H₂₆BNO₄ with a molecular weight of 319.2 g/mol. This compound is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 167-170°C and is supplied at 97% purity. It serves as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl structures. The Boc group protects the amine during coupling, preventing unwanted side reactions, while the pinacol ester provides enhanced stability against protodeboronation compared to free boronic acids.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester does not have a biological target as it is a synthetic organic reagent rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is chemical rather than biological: it serves as a boronate ester that participates in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. In the context of drug discovery, this compound is used to introduce a protected aniline moiety into biaryl drug candidates, where the eventual target of the final drug molecule may be a specific enzyme, receptor, or other protein. The compound itself is an intermediate and does not interact with biological macromolecules in a specific manner.
ln Vitro
As a chemical reagent, 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester exhibits no intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro. Its utility is demonstrated in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, where it achieves 46% isolated yields for biaryl cores under optimized conditions. The pinacol ester provides a hydrolytic half-life of >2 hours in neutral water, facilitating aqueous-scale-up reactions. In cell-based assays, the compound itself is not tested for biological activity. Instead, the biaryl products synthesized from this reagent are evaluated for their pharmacological properties. The compound is used in high-throughput experimentation and parallel synthesis due to its crystalline nature and accurate dispensability.
ln Vivo
No in vivo biological activity is attributed to 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester, as it is a chemical intermediate not intended for therapeutic applications. The compound is used exclusively in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry research to construct biaryl frameworks that may ultimately become drug candidates. Any in vivo effects would be associated with the final pharmaceutical products synthesized from this reagent, not with the reagent itself. The compound is not administered to animals in pharmacological studies and has no known physiological effects. Its role is strictly chemical—enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester as it is not a biologically active compound. Standard characterization protocols for this reagent include nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹B NMR) and mass spectrometry to confirm structure and purity. Melting point determination (167-170°C) is used for quality control. For Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, typical conditions involve dissolving the boronic ester with an aryl halide, a palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄ or Pd(dppf)Cl₂), and a base (e.g., K₂CO₃ or Cs₂CO₃) in a solvent such as dioxane or THF, and heating at 80-100°C for several hours.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester itself, as it is a chemical reagent and not a test compound for biological activity. If the compound is used to synthesize biaryl drug candidates, those products may be tested in cell culture using standard protocols. Typically, the final compounds are dissolved in DMSO and diluted in cell culture media to achieve desired concentrations. Cells are incubated with the test compounds for 24-72 hours, and cell viability is measured using MTT, resazurin, or ATP-luminescence assays. The boronic ester reagent itself is not evaluated in cellular systems.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester, as it is a research reagent for organic synthesis. When the compound is used to synthesize drug candidates, those final products undergo standard preclinical evaluation. Typical protocols for drug candidates include oral gavage or intravenous injection in rodents, collection of blood samples at multiple time points for pharmacokinetic analysis, tissue harvesting for biodistribution studies, and histopathological examination. These studies evaluate the safety and efficacy of the final drug molecules, not the synthetic intermediate used in their preparation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester are not characterized as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 319.2, logP approximately 3.5, crystalline solid), the compound is expected to be poorly water-soluble and lipophilic. If absorbed, it would likely undergo extensive metabolism, including deprotection of the Boc group and oxidative deboronation. The compound is not intended for human exposure and has not been evaluated in formal pharmacokinetic studies. For drug candidates synthesized using this reagent, pharmacokinetic properties are determined as part of the drug development process.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester are limited as it is a research reagent. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of gloves, safety glasses, and working in a fume hood. The compound contains a boronic ester moiety, which may hydrolyze to release boric acid derivatives. No acute toxicity data are available. The compound is not intended for drug, household, or other uses. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong oxidizing agents.
Additional Infomation
4-(Boc-amino)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester is a valuable building block in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of biaryl-containing pharmaceuticals. The Boc protecting group enables selective deprotection after coupling to reveal the free aniline, which can be further functionalized to amides, ureas, or other derivatives. The pinacol ester provides stability during storage and reaction, reducing protodeboronation side reactions. This compound is commonly used in drug discovery campaigns targeting kinases, GPCRs, and other therapeutic targets. It is available in standard pack sizes of 1 g and 5 g. The compound has not undergone clinical trials and is not approved as a pharmaceutical. Its mechanism of action is chemical—facilitating carbon-carbon bond formation in the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
