Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of conjugated systems important in materials science. Particularly valuable in the development of organic semiconductors, fluorescent dyes, and liquid crystal compounds. Its vinylboronic acid structure allows for efficient carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl or vinyl halides, making it useful in the synthesis of extended π-conjugated molecules for optoelectronic applications such as OLEDs and organic photovoltaics. Also employed in the preparation of boron-containing molecular probes for sensing and imaging.
