Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its amino and boronic acid functional groups allow for selective transformations and the construction of complex aromatic structures. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Also utilized in materials science for designing sensors and functional polymers due to its ability to coordinate with various substrates.
