Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The trifluoromethylphenyl urea moiety contributes to enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity in bioactive molecule development. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where fluorinated aromatic structures improve pharmacokinetic properties. Also applied in materials science for constructing conjugated organic frameworks with tunable electronic characteristics.
