Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to construct biaryl compounds which are common scaffolds in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables formation of carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery and development of functional materials. The ethoxymethyl substituent enhances stability and solubility, improving handling and reactivity in aqueous or mixed solvent systems. Also employed in the synthesis of complex molecules where selective coupling is required, due to its moderate reactivity and compatibility with various functional groups.
