Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of deuterated compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research where deuterium labeling enhances drug stability and metabolic properties. It plays a crucial role in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the development of complex organic molecules. Its application extends to the production of deuterated pyridine derivatives, which are valuable in drug discovery and development for studying pharmacokinetics and metabolic pathways. Additionally, it is utilized in material science for creating deuterated organic materials with improved properties for electronic and optical applications.
