Used in organic synthesis as a boronic ester reagent for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the construction of biaryl and conjugated aromatic systems. Its anthracene moiety provides fluorescence properties, making it useful in the development of luminescent materials and sensors. Also employed in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials due to its extended π-conjugation and stability in coupling processes.
