Triisopropyl borate is used as reagent in Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction with aryl halides such as Suzuki reaction. It is used as a reagent for the preparation of the boronic acids and esters; as a Lewis acid catalyst and involved in the ortho-borylation of 1-substituted naphthalenes. Furthermore, it plays an important role as a catalyst for the production of resins, waxes, paints and varnishes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
