Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex fluorinated organic molecules. Its boronate ester group facilitates efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for building aromatic frameworks with fluorine substitution. The presence of the fluoro and methyl groups enhances electronic and metabolic stability in target compounds, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for developing bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to its stability and reactivity profile under palladium catalysis.
