Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in constructing drug-like molecules. The azetidine-sulfonyl moiety enhances solubility and binding selectivity, which is beneficial in designing bioactive compounds. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for optimizing lead compounds and developing kinase inhibitors. Also employed in the synthesis of functional materials and ligands for catalysis.
