Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to create complex biaryl compounds. These compounds are essential in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, while the hydroxy and fluoro substituents offer additional reactivity for further functionalization. Commonly employed in drug discovery for building diverse molecular libraries. Also utilized in the development of advanced materials, such as organic semiconductors and polymers, due to its ability to introduce specific functional groups into molecular structures.
