Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery for constructing aromatic frameworks. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where chlorinated biphenyl motifs are required. Also utilized in materials science for creating organic semiconductors and liquid crystals due to its ability to form conjugated systems. Stable and compatible with a wide range of functional groups, it supports efficient and selective transformations in both research and industrial settings.
