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 fluorinated aromatic structure makes it valuable for creating bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the development of fluorinated drug candidates and functional materials where precise molecular design is critical. The boronic acid group allows for easy derivatization and conjugation, making it useful in medicinal chemistry and probe development.
