Abstract
3-Acetamido-6-heptafluoropropylphenylboronic acid was synthesized by the perfluoroalkylation of 3-acetamidophenylboronic acid (pKa = 8.3) with bis(heptafluorobutyryl)peroxide. The perfluoroalkylated phenylboronic acid thus prepared was determined to have a low pKa as 6.6 by potentiometric titration. Lowered pKa suggests that the product has an advantage for binding with polyols under physiological pH, opening a wide application in the field of biological as well as material sciences.
