This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions like the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It serves as a key intermediate for constructing complex molecules, especially in pharmaceutical research and development. Its boronic acid group enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or other biologically active compounds. The deuteration (d9) in the iso-butyl group enhances its utility in studies involving isotopic labeling, such as metabolic research or drug metabolism investigations, where tracking molecular pathways is essential. Its pyridine core also contributes to its role in designing compounds with specific electronic or binding properties for targeted applications.
