Bis(pinacolato)diboron is a boron containing two pinacolato ligands. This compound may be prepared by reacting tetrakis(dimethylamino)diboron with pinacol in acidic conditions.[1] This compound is a commercially-available starting material useful for making Pinacol boronic esters for organic synthesis.
