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. The sulfone and thiomorpholine moieties enhance solubility and polarity, making it suitable for drug discovery applications where metabolic stability and target binding are important. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules.
