Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its boronic acid functionality enables participation in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its ability to form carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in target molecules, which is advantageous in medicinal chemistry.
