Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl halides, making it valuable in constructing complex pyridine-based structures. Commonly applied in the development of agrochemicals, medicinal agents, and functional materials where trifluoromethyl-substituted heterocycles are needed for enhanced metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
