Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic ester group offers improved stability and handling compared to the corresponding boronic acid, making it a preferred reagent in medicinal chemistry for constructing biaryl scaffolds. Commonly employed in the development of fluorinated compounds where the fluorine atom can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also utilized in materials science for creating organic semiconductors and liquid crystals due to its ability to form extended π-conjugated systems.
