Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables formation of carbon-carbon bonds with aryl or vinyl halides, facilitating the construction of biaryl compounds. The presence of a bromine atom allows for selective reactivity, making it a valuable building block in medicinal chemistry for developing drug candidates. Also employed in materials science for creating organic semiconductors and functional polymers.
