Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical intermediates. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in the development of complex aromatic compounds. The acetamido and nitro groups provide sites for further functionalization, useful in the synthesis of dyes, agrochemicals, and bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of substituted anilines and heterocyclic systems.
