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. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to its ability to introduce phenylurea motifs with tailored substitution patterns. Also applied in materials science for constructing conjugated organic frameworks with potential use in optoelectronic devices.
