We have computed synthetic spectra of the infrared B I transitions at 1.166 and 1.624 μm in order to examine the possibility of abundance determination by using these lines. We found that the IR boron lines are better observed in cool giants and supergiants. S/N > 150 and R ≈ 60000 are required in order to determine the boron abundances.
