Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its boronic acid functionality enables participation in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing for efficient carbon-carbon bond formation in drug development. Commonly employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals and medicinal agents where the fluorinated pyridine scaffold enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the development of novel materials and in labeling strategies for imaging applications due to its selective reactivity and structural features.
