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 boronic ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl or vinyl halides under mild conditions. The presence of a fluorine atom enhances reactivity and influences the electronic properties of the final compound, making it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules and functional materials. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to its stability and selectivity in coupling processes.
