Used in organic synthesis as a boronic acid coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Its protected boronic acid group enhances stability and solubility, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis where controlled reactivity is required. The tert-butoxymethyl (BOM) protecting group can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions, allowing for selective deprotection and further functionalization in multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of biaryl compounds and complex aromatic structures found in bioactive molecules.
