Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its boronic acid functionality enables participation in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing biaryl systems. Also employed in the preparation of pyridine-based derivatives with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Its amine and acetyl groups allow for further functionalization, enhancing its utility in drug discovery and development.
