Abstract Aromatic compounds are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and, to a lesser extent, animal kingdom. Boron complexes naturally produced by bacteria, fungi, and plants, playing significant roles various biological processes. This review compiles existing knowledge on aromatic containing vicinal hydroxyl groups (1,2‐diols) capable of forming diverse boron complexes. Boron‐containing represent fascinating group substances whose significance activity remain insufficiently explored. These great interest not only chemical industry but also medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology. Notably, boronosteroids exhibit potent anticancer properties, while low‐molecular‐weight demonstrate antibacterial activity. Some these function as quorum‐sensing inhibitors, interfering with bacterial communication potentially serving novel antimicrobial agents.
