Used in the synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and other porous materials due to its dual amine and boronic acid functional groups, enabling construction of stable, ordered structures. It serves as a key intermediate in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to form carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceuticals and biomolecules. Commonly employed in sensor development, particularly for glucose detection, where the boronic acid group binds diols and the amines allow further functionalization or immobilization on surfaces. Also used as a building block in pharmaceutical intermediates and in the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers for selective recognition of biological molecules. Its reactivity makes it suitable for click chemistry and bioconjugation applications in drug delivery and diagnostic probes. Popular in research on pharmaceuticals and advanced materials requiring high specificity.
