Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of biaryl compounds which are important in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its electron-donating methoxy group enhances reactivity and selectivity in coupling processes. Commonly employed in the development of liquid crystals, organic semiconductors, and bioactive molecules. Also utilized in sensor design for carbohydrate detection due to boronic acid’s affinity for diols. Stable under standard conditions and compatible with a variety of functional groups, making it suitable for complex molecule assembly.
