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 molecules for drug discovery. The fluorinated benzodioxole structure enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in bioactive compounds, often exploited in medicinal chemistry for designing CNS agents, antiviral drugs, and enzyme inhibitors. Also applied in materials science for creating functionalized organic semiconductors and fluorescent probes.
