It is a component of many detergents, cosmetics, and precursor for other boron compounds, and along with its inverse, boric acid, is useful as an insecticide.

Extreme pressure additives typically contain organic sulfur, phosphorus or chlorine compounds, including sulfur-phosphorus and sulfur-phosphorus-boron compounds, which chemically react with the metal surface under high pressure conditions.
23.
Work done by Bazan et al . found that addition of an electron deficient boron compound activated the phosphorus-oxygen chelated nickel catalyst to oligomerize ethylene into ?-butylene.
24.
The same applies to boron, with the added problem that the abundance of boron compounds is lower . talk ) 19 : 27, 12 November 2005 ( UTC)

Boron compounds were relatively rarely used until the late 1800s when Francis Marion Smith's Pacific Coast Borax Company first popularized and produced them in volume at low cost.
26.
The single largest use of boron compounds in the world ( accounting for half of total global use ) is the production of certain types of boron-treated glass fiber for insulating and structural fiberglass.
27.
Albert and Hillebrecht reviewed binary and selected ternary boron compounds containing main-group elements, namely, borides of the alkali and alkaline-earth metals, aluminum borides and compounds of boron and the nonmetals C, Si, Ge, N, P, As, O, S and Se.

Recently, researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory here and at other sites have been working with a better radiation beam and a new boron compound that concentrates in the tumors to a greater degree than the form used earlier, but for fear of setting back the research effort again, none felt the procedure was ready to try on humans.
