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 quinoline core with a methoxy group enhances electronic properties useful in designing bioactive molecules. Commonly applied in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and fluorescent probes due to the quinoline scaffold’s affinity for biological targets and optical activity. The boronic acid functionality allows for rapid derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and materials science.
