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 palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in creating biaryl compounds for drug discovery and materials science. The presence of a chloro and methyl substituted phenoxy group enhances electronic and steric properties important in fine-tuning molecular activity.
