Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its pyridine ring enhances binding affinity in drug molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for developing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds. The boronic acid group allows for efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, useful in late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. Commonly employed in the development of drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and CNS disorders.
