Vinyl ester of 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid has been synthesized and tested as reactive reagent for permanent fixation of boron in wood based on an improved approach described previously. The essence of the method is a covalent incorporation of the boron compound via transesterification between wood hydroxyl groups and vinyl ester containing boron. The synthesis of this vinyl ester was accomplished by exchange reaction of vinyl acetate with 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid. The obtained vinyl ester of carboxyphenylboronic acid was characterized by FTIR and  1 H-, and  13 C-NMR spectroscopy. The covalent fixation of boron to wood’s hydroxyl groups was achieved through potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ) catalyzed transesterification of the vinyl ester containing boron. The transesterification was confirmed by weight percentage gain (WPG) calculation, curcumin staining, FTIR, and  13 C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. The efficiency of the reaction improved with increasing temperature and reaction time.
