  ABSTRACT: Boronic acids (BAs) are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis and the pharmaceutical industry. A dual-standard reverse phase (RP) HPLC-UV method was developed for the simultaneous identification (as monomer), assay (as monomer), and impurities analysis of phenylboronic acid (PBA), using 4-methoxyphenyl boronic acid (4-MPBA) as a model compound. The method utilizes an Ascentis? Express 90 ? ES-Cyano column with 0.025% TFA in both mobile phases (A: water, B: methanol). It employs a simple gradient with an injection volume of 10 μL and a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. This QC-friendly, single-sequence method achieves baseline separation of the analyte and its impurities. By utilizing a stable, readily available bromo-analog surrogate for quantitation, it bypasses the need for a single-component primary BA reference standard.
