Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in developing bioactive compounds with fluorinated aromatic structures. The presence of fluorine and trifluoromethyl groups enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, which are desirable traits in drug design. Commonly employed in the preparation of potential therapeutic agents where fluorinated scaffolds improve pharmacokinetic properties.
