Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds where fluorine substitution is critical for activity. The pinacol ester group improves stability and handling compared to the free boronic acid, making it more suitable for large-scale and automated synthesis.
