Used as a key reagent in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. Its boron-containing structure allows efficient coupling with aryl or vinyl halides under palladium catalysis, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for constructing complex aromatic systems. The presence of a trifluoroethyl group enhances electronic and metabolic stability in target molecules, useful in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to its stability and reactivity profile.
