Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl compounds. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in drug discovery for developing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems. Commonly applied in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders and oncology. The piperidinylpyrimidine scaffold contributes to improved solubility and binding affinity in final active pharmaceutical ingredients.
