Used primarily in cross-coupling reactions, this compound serves as a key boronic ester reagent in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its pyridine backbone with a boronate ester group allows for efficient and selective coupling with aryl or heteroaryl halides under palladium catalysis. This makes it valuable in constructing complex molecules, especially in drug discovery and development of functional materials. The stability and reactivity profile of the boronate ester facilitate handling and high yields in various reaction conditions.
