This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Its boronic acid group enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable for constructing complex organic molecules. The tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) protecting group enhances its stability during reactions, allowing for selective deprotection when needed. It is often employed in pharmaceutical research for synthesizing intermediates in drug development. Additionally, its fluorine substituent can influence the electronic properties of the resulting compounds, making it useful in designing molecules with specific biological activities or material properties.
