Boric acid ester
Boric acid esters are esters of boric acid that are formed, for example, by the reaction of boric acid with alcohols with the elimination of water . The boric acid esters formed can be purified by distillation.
An example of this is the production of boric acid trimethyl ester (trimethyl borate), which is sometimes referred to synonymously as boric acid ester , from boric acid and methanol .
use
Boric acid esters are u. a. Used as a component in brake fluids , as fragrances and in school trials to detect methanol. They also serve (especially cyclic boric acid esters) as microbicides , fungicides and insecticides .
