Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl halides, making it valuable for constructing biaryl compounds. The bromo and ethoxy substituents provide additional reactivity and electronic effects that can be leveraged in multi-step synthesis. Commonly employed in the development of functional materials and bioactive compounds.
