Used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for introducing fluorinated aromatic groups into complex molecules, which is valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. The presence of the fluorobenzyl group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. It is also employed in the synthesis of fluorinated building blocks for materials science and medicinal chemistry applications.
