This chemical is primarily used in the field of organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It serves as a key building block for the introduction of the 4-fluoro-2-methylpyridine moiety into more complex molecules, often in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables it to form stable covalent bonds with various organic substrates, making it valuable in the creation of novel compounds with potential biological activity. Additionally, it is utilized in materials science for the synthesis of advanced organic materials, including polymers and small molecules with specific electronic or optical properties.
