Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic ester group is stable and facilitates efficient coupling with aryl halides, enabling the construction of biaryl frameworks. The presence of a bromomethyl group allows for further functionalization, making it a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry for developing bioactive compounds. Commonly employed in late-stage diversification strategies due to its selective reactivity and compatibility with various functional groups.
