Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The fluorine substituent enhances reactivity and influences the electronic properties of the final product, making it valuable in the development of functionalized aromatic amides for drug discovery. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to good stability and selectivity in coupling processes.
