Used extensively in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, particularly in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and organic materials. Acts as a key intermediate in the production of various pyridine derivatives, which are important in drug development. Employed in the creation of complex molecules for agrochemicals and fine chemicals. Also utilized in materials science for the development of organic electronic components and polymers. Its boronic acid group enables selective binding to diols, making it useful in biochemical applications such as sensor development and carbohydrate recognition.
