Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic ester functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other nitrogen-containing heterocyclic drug candidates. Also utilized in materials science for constructing conjugated systems in organic electronics due to its stable pyridine core and reactive handle for further functionalization.
