Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The presence of a fluorine atom and a methoxycarbonyl group allows for additional structural diversification and electronic tuning, making it valuable in drug discovery for building bioactive compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated aromatic systems to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in medicinal chemistry.
