The synthesis and utility of three benzoxaborole protecting groups are reported. These protecting groups improve organic solubility and allow otherwise incompatible reactions (oxidations, substitutions, and mild reductions) to be achieved in the presence of the benzoxaborole moiety. 3-( N, N-Dimethylamino)-1-propanol was determined to be useful in one-step sequences and is readily cleaved upon workup. Two other groups, N-methylsalicylidenimine and 2-[1-(methylimino)ethyl]phenol, are suitable for multistep syntheses. Deprotection with mild aqueous acid allows for chromatography-free isolation of the benzoxaborole in high yields.

The regioselective modification of polyols allows rapid access to their derivatives, thereby accelerating the polyol-related biology and drug discovery. We previously reported that benzoxaborole is a potent catalyst for the regioselective modification of polyols containing a -1,2-diol structure. In this study, we developed a bifunctional benzoxaborole catalyst embedded with a Lewis base.

Because d-allulose has been attracting attention as a zero-calorie sugar, the selective sensing of d-allulose is desired to investigate its health benefits. We report herein a novel fluorescence chemosensor that is based on an inclusion complex of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CyD) with a benzoxaborole-based probe. Two inclusion complexes, 1/γCyD and 2/γCyD, were prepared by mixing γ-CyD with their corresponding probes in a water-rich solvent, where γ-CyD encapsulates two molecules of the probes inside its cavity to form a pyrene dimer.

Injectable hydrogels have become a promising material for biomedical engineering applications, but microbial infection remains a common challenge in their application. In this study, we presented an injectable antibacterial hydrogel with self-healing property based on a dual cross-linking network structure of dynamic benzoxaborole-sugar and quadruple hydrogen bonds of the 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone (UPy) moieties at physiological pH. Dynamic rheological experiments demonstrated the gelatinous behavior of the double cross-linking network (storage modulus G' > loss modulus G″), and the modulus showed frequency-dependent behavior.

Understanding cell/material interactions is essential to design functional cell-responsive materials. While the scientific literature abounds with formulations of biomimetic materials, only a fraction of them focused on mechanisms of the molecular interactions between cells and material. To provide new knowledge on the strategies for materials/cell recognition and binding, supramolecular benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide copolymers bearing benzoxaborole moieties are anchored on the surface of human erythrocytes via benzoxaborole/sialic-acid binding.

Recent studies identified the benzoxaborole moiety as a new zinc-binding group able to interact with carbonic anhydrase (CA) active site. Here, we report a structural analysis of benzoxaboroles containing urea/thiourea groups, showing that these molecules are very versatile since they can bind the enzyme assuming different binding conformations and coordination geometries of the catalytic zinc ion. In addition, theoretical calculations of binding free energy were performed highlighting the key role of specific residues for protein-inhibitor recognition.
