Used in organic synthesis as a versatile building block, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. It is valuable in the preparation of complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The bromomethyl group allows for further functionalization, enabling the creation of diverse chemical structures. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for the development of drug candidates and in material science for designing advanced materials. Its stability and reactivity make it a preferred choice in boron chemistry applications.
