A structure-activity relationship investigation for a more efficacious therapy to treat onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the toe and fingernails, led to the discovery of a boron-containing small mol., AN2690 (I), which is currently in clin. trials for onychomycosis topical treatment. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 7-Fluoro-1,3-dihydro-2,1-benzoxaborol-1-ol (cas: 174671-93-3COA of Formula: C7H6BFO2).
7-Fluoro-1,3-dihydro-2,1-benzoxaborol-1-ol (cas: 174671-93-3) belongs to alcohols. A strong base can deprotonate an alcohol to yield an alkoxide ion (R―O−). For example, sodamide (NaNH2), a very strong base, abstracts the hydrogen atom of an alcohol. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon-carbon bonds, whereas primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or further oxidized to carboxylic acids.COA of Formula: C7H6BFO2
