Used as a specialized reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions where enhanced steric hindrance improves selectivity. Its bulky isopropyl groups help suppress unwanted side reactions, making it valuable in the construction of complex organic molecules such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The methyl ester group increases stability and ease of handling compared to the corresponding boronic acid, allowing for more practical use in industrial settings. It is also employed in the development of functional materials, including liquid crystals and organic electronic compounds, where precise molecular geometry is critical.
