Used as a boron-based reagent in cross-coupling reactions, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its steric bulk and electron-deficient aryl group enhance selectivity and stability during catalytic transformations. Commonly employed in the preparation of complex organic molecules, including bioactive compounds and functional materials. The dichlorophenyl group can also act as a directing or modulating moiety in metal-catalyzed reactions.
