Used primarily in organic synthesis as a versatile building block for the preparation of complex molecules, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables it to participate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, a key method for forming carbon-carbon bonds. This makes it valuable in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, such as enzyme inhibitors or receptor ligands. Additionally, its aminosulphonyl group can enhance solubility and binding affinity, making it useful in drug design. It is also employed in materials science for the development of sensors and functionalized polymers, leveraging its ability to interact with diols and other organic groups.
