Used primarily as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of bioactive compounds and functional materials. The amide functionality adds polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence the reactivity and solubility in aqueous or polar organic solvents. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing benzamide-based scaffolds with potential biological activity.
