Used as a specialized reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where a trifluoroborate moiety acts as a stable boron-based nucleophile. Its structure allows for selective transformations in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development, offering improved stability and reactivity under mild conditions. Commonly employed in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to form biaryl compounds, it enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation. The presence of the methylthio group can serve as a directing or modulating group in complex molecule assembly, enhancing reaction selectivity.
