Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in drug development for constructing biaryl scaffolds. Commonly applied in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Also utilized in materials science for creating organic semiconductors and functional polymers. The presence of bromo and fluoro substituents allows further functionalization and enhances binding selectivity in target molecules.
