Used primarily in cross-coupling reactions, especially in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to synthesize complex aromatic amines. Its boronate ester group reacts efficiently with aryl halides in the presence of palladium catalysts, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Commonly employed in the preparation of functionalized anilines for use in materials science, including organic semiconductors and dyes. Stable and compatible with various functional groups, it enables selective bond formation in multi-step synthetic routes.
