Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biaryl compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The fluorinated aromatic ring enhances binding selectivity in drug design, making it valuable for developing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to stability and reactivity profile.
