Hi, I am an undergraduate student conducting research on Suzuki-Miyaura polymerization.

After synthesizing the monomer by in-situ trapping, which is OHex, B(OH)₂ and Br to the benzene ring. I have trouble in isolating the product as I can't fully extract the product using organic solvent from the mixture as I can always detect somthing (assuming the product since it is a boronic acid) on TLC plate. I tried Et₂O and AcOEt but I still have the same problem.

If anyone have any idea how with this, it would help me a lot. Thank you!

I dont understand what compound you are making. It sounds like an interesting project. Do you have a reference you are using, a paper? To isolate boronic acids can probably be a bit tricky, boron is different and can behave strangely.
