Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex pyridine-containing molecules for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic ester group provides enhanced stability and reactivity, making it valuable in drug discovery for constructing carbon-carbon bonds. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds. Also utilized in materials science for creating functionalized organic semiconductors and ligands for catalysis.
