Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its aldehyde and boronate functional groups allow dual reactivity, enabling sequential transformations to build complex aromatic structures. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic aldehydes are needed. Also applied in materials science for constructing conjugated organic frameworks used in optoelectronic devices.
