Used as a key building block in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize bipyridine-based ligands and functional materials. Enables the preparation of conjugated systems for applications in organic electronics, such as OLEDs and molecular sensors. Frequently employed in the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination complexes for catalysis and photovoltaics. Its boronate ester group allows for mild, selective coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for constructing biaryl structures.
