Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its protected boronic acid group enhances stability and selectivity during multi-step syntheses. Commonly employed in the preparation of biaryl compounds and functionalized aromatic systems for drug discovery and materials science. The ethoxymethoxy protecting group can be easily removed under mild acidic conditions, allowing for further derivatization.
