Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as a stable and protected formyl-substituted furan building block. The MIDA ester group enhances stability and solubility, allowing for selective coupling under mild conditions. Commonly applied in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and functional materials, where preservation of the aldehyde functionality during reaction sequences is critical. Its protected boronic acid moiety enables iterative cross-coupling strategies in automated synthesis platforms.
