Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Its boronate ester group facilitates palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl or vinyl halides, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The allylic benzyl ether moiety allows for further functionalization or deprotection, adding versatility in multi-step synthetic routes. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds and conjugated systems for materials science.
