Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. The boronic acid group allows for facile functionalization and conjugation, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and late-stage diversification of complex molecules.
