Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its boronic acid functionality enables participation in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing carbon-carbon bonds. Also employed in the preparation of sensors and probes for detecting biologically relevant molecules due to the reactivity of the boronic acid group with diols and amines. The presence of both amino and nitro groups allows for further functionalization, supporting its use in multi-step organic syntheses and library generation for drug discovery.
