Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable for constructing biaryl structures found in bioactive molecules. The presence of a methoxycarbonyl and trifluoromethyl group enhances electronic and metabolic stability, useful in drug design. Commonly applied in the synthesis of intermediates for medicinal chemistry and functional materials.
