Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its boronic acid group enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex aromatic systems. The presence of fluorine atoms enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of intermediates for antitumor agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in materials science for designing fluorinated organic semiconductors and sensors due to its electron-withdrawing properties and structural rigidity.
