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 coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in creating biaryl compounds for drug discovery. The 2,6-difluorobenzyloxy substituent contributes to enhanced binding affinity and metabolic stability in bioactive molecules. Commonly applied in the synthesis of intermediates for medicinal chemistry and functional materials.
