Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery for building complex aromatic structures. The electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhances stability and influences the electronic properties of the final molecules, often improving metabolic stability and bioavailability in medicinal chemistry applications. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules and functional materials requiring tailored aromatic frameworks.
