Used primarily in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Its boron-containing group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable for constructing biaryl and conjugated aromatic systems found in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The acetate group can act as a directing or protecting group and may be hydrolyzed or transformed in subsequent reactions, allowing for further functionalization. Its stability and reactivity profile make it suitable for multi-step synthetic routes in research and development settings.
