Used primarily as a building block in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, this compound enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Its boronate ester group reacts efficiently with aryl or vinyl halides under palladium catalysis, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The presence of methoxy groups and an ester functionality allows for further derivatization, enhancing its utility in constructing bioactive compounds and functional materials. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to its stability and reactivity profile.
