Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for the preparation of boron-containing compounds, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. These reactions are widely employed in the pharmaceutical industry to create complex molecules for drug development. It also serves as a building block in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and materials with potential applications in medicinal chemistry and material science. Its thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide moiety can enhance the solubility and stability of the resulting compounds, making it valuable in designing drug candidates with improved pharmacokinetic properties. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of boron-based probes for imaging and diagnostic purposes.
