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, making it valuable in the preparation of complex biaryl compounds. The presence of bromo and chloro substituents allows for selective, sequential coupling reactions, useful in multi-step synthesis of functionalized aromatic systems. Commonly applied in research settings for drug discovery and materials science.
