Widely used in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. It serves as a key intermediate in the preparation of liquid crystals, particularly for display applications, due to the biphenyl core and alkoxy side chain that promote mesogenic behavior. The isopentyloxy group enhances solubility and phase stability, making it suitable for use in the development of advanced materials for optoelectronic devices. Its boronate functionality allows for efficient and selective carbon-carbon bond formation under mild palladium-catalyzed conditions, useful in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
