Metaboric acid is a naturally occurring inorganic compound formed by boric acid dehydration. This white, odorless, crystalline powder exhibits solubility in water and alcohol. In the industrial realm, it serves as an insecticide and fungicide. Further, it can be used as a catalyst in the Beckmann reaction. Mechanistically, Metaboric acid disrupts the cell membrane of bacteria and fungi, leading to their demise.
