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 boronic acid group enables coupling with aryl halides, while the bromo and fluoro substituents provide sites for further functionalization or influence electronic properties. Commonly applied in the development of fluorinated compounds where enhanced metabolic stability or bioavailability is desired. Also utilized in materials science for constructing functionalized aromatic systems in electronic materials.
