Used primarily in organic synthesis as a building block for cross-coupling reactions, particularly Suzuki-Miyaura reactions, to create complex biaryl compounds. Its boronic ester group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in pharmaceutical research for developing drug candidates. The methoxycarbonyl group adds versatility, allowing further functionalization. Commonly employed in the preparation of intermediates for agrochemicals, materials science, and bioactive molecules. Its stability and reactivity make it a preferred choice in medicinal chemistry for constructing diverse molecular frameworks.
