Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in the development of complex pyridine-based structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry to build fluorinated and chlorinated heteroaromatic systems, which are valuable motifs in drug discovery due to their improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and kinase inhibitors.
