Used primarily in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. It enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly in the construction of biaryl or substituted aromatic systems found in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The methyl ester group allows for further functional group transformations, such as hydrolysis to the corresponding carboxylic acid or reduction to the alcohol, making it a versatile intermediate in multi-step syntheses. Its boronate ester group provides good stability and reactivity under palladium catalysis, suitable for use in both research and industrial settings for drug discovery and development.
