Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its boronic acid group enables coupling with aryl or vinyl halides, facilitating the construction of complex aromatic systems. The presence of chlorine, ethoxy, and fluoro substituents allows for further functionalization or influences electronic and steric properties, making it valuable in drug discovery and materials science. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules where fluorinated and ether-containing aromatic motifs are desired.
