Used primarily in cross-coupling reactions, this compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, allowing efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds with aryl or heteroaryl halides. This makes it valuable in constructing complex aromatic amines found in bioactive molecules. It is also employed in the development of organic electronic materials due to its ability to introduce fluorinated aniline motifs, which can enhance electron transport properties and stability in semiconductor devices.
