Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of biaryl compounds important in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group facilitates carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The nitrile and ether functionalities provide additional sites for chemical modification, making it valuable in the development of liquid crystals, organic electronic materials, and bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in research for constructing complex aromatic frameworks in drug discovery and material science.
