Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for constructing biaryl systems found in bioactive molecules. Also utilized in materials science for creating organic semiconductors and functional polymers due to its nitrile and pyridine functionalities, which contribute to electron transport properties.
