Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl compounds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals. The bromine substituent allows for further functionalization, enhancing its versatility in multi-step organic syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other nitrogen-containing heterocyclic drugs. Also utilized in materials science for synthesizing organic semiconductors and ligands for catalysis.
