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 boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in the development of complex fluorinated compounds. The presence of fluorine atoms and an ethoxy group enhances electronic and metabolic stability, which is advantageous in drug design. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules and functional materials requiring tailored aromatic structures.
