Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl halides, while the fluorine and ester functionalities provide sites for further modification or enhance bioavailability in drug design. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated biaryl compounds, which are valuable motifs in medicinal chemistry due to their metabolic stability and binding affinity.
