Widely used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, this compound serves as a key boronic ester reagent for forming carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its amide-functionalized pyridine structure enhances stability and directs metal coordination, improving reaction selectivity. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization of complex molecules, it enables efficient introduction of picolinamide motifs in drug discovery. The boronate ester group allows mild, catalytic transformation under aqueous conditions, making it suitable for diverse functional group tolerance in multi-step syntheses.
