Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl frameworks. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The methoxy groups enhance solubility and can direct regioselective substitution, improving reaction control. Commonly employed in research settings for synthesizing complex aromatic systems and functionalized naphthalene derivatives.
