Used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, where it serves as a stable and reactive boron-based partner for forming carbon-carbon bonds. Its electron-deficient aryl group enhances reactivity with aryl halides, enabling efficient synthesis of biaryl compounds, which are common structural motifs in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The presence of the methoxycarbonyl group allows for further derivatization or anchoring to surfaces in material science applications. It is valued for its stability, solubility in polar solvents, and compatibility with a wide range of functional groups.
