Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery for building complex aromatic structures. The presence of a fluorine atom enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in target molecules. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds where fluorinated aromatic scaffolds are required.
