Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to create complex molecules for pharmaceuticals and materials science. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of drugs targeting various diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders. Its boronic acid group facilitates efficient coupling with aryl halides, enabling the construction of carbon-carbon bonds. This compound is also valuable in the production of advanced materials, such as organic semiconductors and polymers, due to its ability to introduce cyclobutyl and pyrimidine moieties into larger structures.
