This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions like the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Its boronic acid group enables it to form carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The difluoropyridine moiety enhances its reactivity and stability, allowing for precise modifications in complex molecular structures. It is also employed in the development of advanced materials, such as organic semiconductors and liquid crystals, due to its ability to introduce fluorine atoms into aromatic systems.
