• Fluoride protects boronic acids in the copper(I)-mediated click reaction.

  Jin S, Choudhary G, Cheng Y, Dai C, Li M, Wang B. Chem Commun (Camb). 2009; (35): 5251-3

  Fluoride has been found to protect boronic acids from copper(i)-mediated decomposition; such findings should be very useful for the preparation of boronic acid-based carbohydrate sensors and boronic acid conjugates using the copper(i)-mediated click reaction.
