Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry to construct biaryl systems found in drug candidates. Also applied in materials science for creating organic electronic compounds due to the electron-deficient nature of the difluoromethylpyridine moiety. Stable and compatible with a wide range of functional groups, making it valuable in late-stage functionalization during complex molecule synthesis.
