Widely used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, this compound serves as a key building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex pyridine-containing molecules. It is particularly useful in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds where substituted pyridines are essential. The presence of the chlorine and methyl groups allows for selective and sequential functionalization, enhancing its versatility in multi-step syntheses.
