Used as an intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex fluorinated organic molecules. Its boronate ester group facilitates carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for building aromatic frameworks with fluorine substitution. The bromomethyl group allows further functionalization, offering versatility in multi-step syntheses. Commonly applied in the development of bioactive compounds where fluorine incorporation enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity.
