Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The MIDA ester group stabilizes the boronic acid, allowing for better handling, storage, and selective deprotection under mild conditions. This makes it valuable in iterative synthesis and the construction of conjugated systems such as oligothiophenes used in organic electronics. Its stability also enables use in multi-step sequences without premature reaction of the boronate functionality.
