Used primarily in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. It enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly for introducing dihydropyridine motifs into complex molecules. This compound is valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles found in pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Its protected dihydropyridine structure allows for selective transformations, making it useful in multi-step synthesis of drug candidates and functional materials.
