Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its boronic acid functionality enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated biaryl compounds, which are important structural motifs in drug discovery due to their enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. The presence of the ethoxycarbonyl group allows for further functionalization or serves as a directing group in subsequent transformations. Often utilized in research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic systems are required. The product may contain varying amounts of anhydride, which enhances stability for storage and transportation.
