This specialty chemical is 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamido]phenylboronic acid, used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis for agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a key building block in cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to construct complex aromatic structures found in fungicides and other crop protection agents. The trifluoromethyl group enhances its utility in designing molecules with improved stability and bioactivity. Not applied directly as a pesticide, but essential for producing effective agricultural products.
