Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of fluorinated biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The presence of a fluorine atom enhances binding selectivity in drug design, making this compound valuable in developing bioactive molecules. The ethoxycarbonyl group acts as a directing and modulating group, improving reaction yields and stability during coupling processes. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where fluorinated aromatic systems are required.
