Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, while the bromo and nitro substituents provide sites for further functionalization. Commonly employed in the preparation of complex aromatic compounds, including intermediates for drugs, dyes, and advanced materials. The electron-withdrawing nitro group enhances reactivity in cross-coupling processes, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
