Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in the development of complex fluorinated compounds. The presence of fluorine atoms and a nitro group enhances its reactivity and electronic properties, useful in medicinal chemistry for tuning drug potency and metabolic stability. Also applied in materials science for designing fluorescent probes and functional polymers.
