Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic ester group facilitates efficient and selective coupling with aryl or heteroaryl halides under mild conditions. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to the stability and reactivity of the pyridine scaffold. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems found in drug candidates.
