Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its boronic acid functionality enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing carbon-carbon bonds. Commonly employed in the preparation of drug candidates targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases due to its ability to enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability. Also utilized in the design of agrochemicals and functional materials where substituted pyridine derivatives are required.
