Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to construct biaryl compounds which are key intermediates in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The (2-methoxyethoxy)methyl substituent on the phenyl ring enhances the stability and solubility of the boronic acid, making it suitable for multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the development of functional materials, including organic semiconductors and liquid crystals. Also applied in medicinal chemistry for building complex aromatic structures with improved metabolic stability.
