Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the development of drugs targeting specific diseases. Its boronic acid group enables it to participate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, a widely used method for forming carbon-carbon bonds in medicinal chemistry. The deuterated propoxy group enhances the stability and metabolic properties of the compounds, making it valuable in the study of pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of labeled compounds for analytical purposes, such as in mass spectrometry and NMR studies, to track and understand molecular interactions and pathways.
