Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form biaryl compounds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in drug discovery and development. The presence of a carbamoyl linker enhances solubility and can influence binding affinity in bioactive molecules. Commonly applied in the preparation of protease inhibitors and targeted cancer therapies. Also utilized in the synthesis of sensors and functional materials due to its selective reactivity with diols and amines.
