Organoboron Compounds – chem. database
From website: “Boronic acids and their esters are highly popular synthetic intermediates in organic synthesis for their ease and efficiency of conversion to other functional groups, in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and for their unique biochemical activity. Read more…

CAS Registry Numbers are an important tool for substance searching. These are unique identifiers assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) to specific substances identified by them in the chemical literature.

CAS Numbers are not related to chemistry, are unrelated to any previous systems, and do not readily form phonetic analogs or synonyms. The numbers are simple and regular, convenient for database searches.
