Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct complex drug molecules. Its boronic ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Commonly applied in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds where fluorinated aromatic rings enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in agrochemical research and materials science for designing functional organic molecules.
