This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It serves as a key intermediate for constructing complex molecules, especially in pharmaceutical research and development. The deuterated methyl groups enhance its stability and can be useful in isotopic labeling studies, aiding in the tracking and analysis of chemical pathways. Its application is also seen in material science, where it contributes to the development of advanced organic materials with specific electronic or structural properties.
