Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. It serves as a key building block in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The boronic acid group enables coupling with aryl or vinyl halides, while the butoxy and methyl substituents influence electronic and steric properties, enhancing selectivity in complex molecule assembly. Commonly applied in drug discovery and development of advanced intermediates.
