Used as a stable boronic acid derivative in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling efficient carbon-carbon bond formation in complex molecule synthesis. Its MIDA ester group enhances stability and solubility, allowing for purification and storage of sensitive boronic acid intermediates. Commonly applied in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis where precise, iterative coupling steps are required. The furan ring serves as a versatile handle for further functionalization or as a directing group in metal-catalyzed reactions.
