Used primarily as an intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, this compound enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Its boronate ester group readily reacts with aryl or vinyl halides in the presence of a palladium catalyst, making it valuable in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science research. It is especially useful for constructing substituted aromatic systems where a methoxy and acetyl group are retained in the final product. The compound’s stability and reactivity profile make it a preferred choice in late-stage functionalization during drug discovery and development.
