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 the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in creating biaryl compounds with specific electronic and steric properties. The presence of ethoxy and trifluoromethyl groups enhances substrate reactivity and influences the biological activity of target molecules, especially in drug discovery programs aiming for improved metabolic stability and binding affinity.
