Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in the development of complex fluorinated and chlorinated aromatic compounds. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for designing bioactive molecules where halogen and alkoxy substituents influence potency, metabolic stability, and target binding. Also utilized in materials science for constructing functional organic frameworks and fluorescent probes due to its electron-withdrawing substituents and structural rigidity.
