Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize fluorinated and chlorinated pyridine derivatives, which are key intermediates in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its dual halogen and boronic acid functionality allows selective sequential coupling, enabling the construction of complex heteroaromatic systems. Commonly applied in drug discovery for creating libraries of bioactive molecules targeting kinase inhibitors and CNS-active compounds. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors with tailored electronic properties.
