This compound is primarily utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It serves as a key building block for constructing complex molecules, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl or vinyl halides, facilitating the creation of biaryl or heteroaryl structures, while the 4-bromopyridin-2-yl substituent allows for additional orthogonal functionalization or sequential coupling reactions. This makes it valuable in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates for drug discovery. Additionally, it is used in material science for the development of organic electronic materials, where its pyridine and furan moieties contribute to the desired electronic properties.
