Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable for constructing biaryl compounds. The methanesulfonyl group enhances solubility and can act as a directing or activating group in further functionalization. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for designing drug candidates, especially in kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in materials science for creating conjugated systems in organic electronics.
