Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl compounds, which are key structural motifs in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. Commonly employed in the development of drug intermediates, especially in the synthesis of compounds with anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and CNS activity. Also utilized in materials science for constructing conjugated systems in organic electronics. The cyano and methyl substituents enhance reactivity and direct regioselectivity during coupling, improving synthetic efficiency.
