Used as an intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its nitrile, nitro, and boronate functional groups provide versatile reactivity, with the electron-withdrawing nitro and nitrile groups influencing electronic properties and enabling the construction of substituted aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where aryl-aryl bond formation is required. Also utilized in materials science for designing conjugated systems in organic electronics due to its electron-withdrawing groups and structural stability.
