Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as a key intermediate for synthesizing biaryl compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to the presence of the pyridine ring and sulfonyl moiety, which enhance binding affinity and solubility. Also utilized in the preparation of functional materials and ligands for catalysis.
