Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds and functional materials where aryl-aryl linkages are required. The presence of a chlorobenzyl ether moiety adds structural diversity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug-like scaffolds. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands and functionalized aromatic systems for catalysis and material science applications.
