Used in organic synthesis as a stable and versatile alkyltrifluoroborate reagent for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. It facilitates the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly for introducing the 2-(benzyloxy)ethyl group into complex molecules like pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its trifluoroborate group enhances stability and reactivity, making it suitable for use in aqueous or mild conditions. Additionally, it is employed in the development of bioactive compounds and materials science research.
