Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to construct biaryl and heteroaryl frameworks found in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms enhance reactivity and influence the electronic properties of the resulting compounds, making it valuable in the development of drug candidates and functional materials. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for late-stage functionalization and library synthesis in drug discovery.
