Used in cross-coupling reactions, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to introduce the pyrazolopyridine scaffold into complex molecules. This compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to the bioactive nature of the pyrazolopyridine core. Its boronate ester group enables efficient and selective bond formation with aryl or heteroaryl halides, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug-like molecules. Commonly applied in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds.
