Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of conjugated organic compounds. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science research. Commonly employed in the development of organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, and fluorescent dyes due to its ability to extend π-conjugation in molecular frameworks. The methyl ester functionality allows for further chemical modifications, enhancing its versatility in multi-step syntheses.
