Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to construct carbon-carbon bonds for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromo and boronic acid functional groups allow sequential coupling steps, enabling the synthesis of complex aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in the development of drug intermediates and functional materials where substituted phenyl rings are required. The presence of a methyl group enhances electronic and steric control during coupling, improving reaction selectivity. Stable under standard conditions and compatible with various catalysts, making it suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
