Used as a coupling reagent in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for introducing trifluoromethyl-substituted aryl groups into complex molecules. Commonly applied in late-stage functionalization of drug candidates to enhance metabolic stability and lipophilicity. Also employed in materials science for constructing conjugated systems in organic electronics.
