2,4-Difluoro-phenyl-boronic acid.

ABSTRACT: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(6)H(5)BF(2)O(2), is essentially planar (mean deviation = 0.019 Å), indicating electronic delocalization between the dihydroxy-boryl group and the aromatic ring. In the crystal structure, inversion dimers linked by two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds arise. An intra-molecular O-H⋯F hydrogen bond reinforces the conformation and the same H atom is also involved in an inter-molecular O-H⋯F link, leading to mol-ecular sheets in the crystal.
