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 aromatic compounds. The presence of chlorine and fluorine substituents allows for further functionalization and enhances reactivity or binding properties in target molecules. Commonly applied in the synthesis of bioactive compounds and drug intermediates where fluorinated aromatic structures are needed for improved metabolic stability and bioavailability.
