Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable for constructing biaryl scaffolds found in bioactive molecules. The presence of a dimethylcarbamoyl group adds polarity and can influence binding properties in drug design. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for lead optimization and synthesis of potential therapeutic agents.
