This compound is primarily utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It serves as a key building block for the introduction of the 2-cyano-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine moiety into more complex molecules. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl or vinyl halides, facilitating the creation of biaryl or styrene derivatives. These derivatives are often explored in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science due to the unique properties imparted by the trifluoromethyl and cyano groups, such as enhanced stability, lipophilicity, and electronic effects. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of advanced intermediates for drug discovery, particularly in the design of compounds targeting specific biological pathways.
