Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery and development of bioactive compounds. The methyl and ester groups provide sites for further functionalization, enhancing versatility in multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of inhibitors, functional materials, and aromatic frameworks requiring selective substitution patterns.
