Used primarily in cross-coupling reactions, this compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, allowing efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds with aryl or heteroaryl halides under palladium catalysis. This makes it valuable in constructing complex aromatic amines found in bioactive molecules. It is also employed in materials science for developing organic semiconductors and functional polymers due to its ability to introduce chloroaniline motifs into conjugated systems. The compound’s stability and reactivity profile make it suitable for late-stage functionalization in drug discovery.
