This aryl triflate is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, serving as an electrophile in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Heck reactions. The trifluoromethanesulfonate group acts as an excellent leaving group, facilitating the construction of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecules for pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. The 2-chloro substituent provides electronic modulation, while the 6-(trimethylsilyl) group enhances stability, selectivity, and can function as a directing or protecting element. It is particularly valuable in developing fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients with therapeutic potential, including anticancer and antiviral agents.
