This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. These reactions are essential for forming carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Its boronic acid group acts as a key intermediate, enabling the coupling of aryl halides with aryl boronic acids to create complex organic compounds. The 4-methoxy substituent improves solubility and directs reactivity, while the 3-trifluoromethyl group enhances electron-withdrawing effects, reactivity, and stability, making it suitable for applications requiring precise chemical transformations. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of bioactive molecules and polymers, contributing to innovations in drug discovery and material science. Note that the product contains varying amounts of anhydride, which may influence handling and storage.
