Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting specific enzymes or receptors. It plays a crucial role in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex organic molecules. This compound is valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating novel therapeutic agents, especially in oncology and antiviral research. As a deuterated compound (d9), it enhances metabolic stability, making it useful in pharmacokinetic studies and drug discovery.
