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 coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in the development of complex aromatic compounds. Commonly applied in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where the dichloro and methyl substituents influence electronic and steric properties. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates targeting inflammation, cancer, and central nervous system disorders.
