Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in creating complex aromatic systems. The presence of methoxy and trifluoromethoxy groups enhances electronic and metabolic stability, which is beneficial in drug design. Commonly applied in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and functional materials requiring fluorinated aromatic motifs.
