Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to create complex biaryl compounds. These reactions are essential in pharmaceutical development for constructing drug molecules. The cyclohexyl group enhances stability and influences the steric properties, making it useful in designing compounds with specific biological activities. Also employed in material science for developing organic electronic materials and polymers. Its boronic acid group allows for selective binding to diols, making it valuable in sensor technologies for detecting sugars and other diol-containing molecules.
