Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to construct biaryl frameworks found in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The cyano group adds polarity and can act as a functional handle for further transformations or as a bioisostere in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Also utilized in materials science for synthesizing conjugated systems in organic electronics.
