This compound is primarily utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Its boronic acid group enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable for constructing complex molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The methoxycarbonyl group adds versatility, allowing further functionalization or modification of the molecule. It is often employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates for drug discovery. Additionally, its pyridine core contributes to its use in designing ligands for catalysis or materials with specific electronic properties.
