Used in organic synthesis as a boronic ester coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl or heteroaryl frameworks. Its pyrazolopyridine core makes it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for developing new bioactive molecules. The presence of the methyl group and boronate ester allows for selective functionalization and modular assembly in drug discovery programs. Commonly employed in late-stage diversification due to its stability and reactivity under palladium catalysis.
