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. Serves as a key intermediate in the preparation of boron-containing compounds for sensor applications, particularly in glucose detection due to its affinity for diols. Employed in the design of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and molecular imprinting materials where the carboxylic acid and boronic acid groups allow for dual functionality in self-assembly and recognition processes. Also applied in bioconjugation strategies for labeling biomolecules and in the development of boronic acid-based inhibitors in medicinal chemistry.
