Used in organic synthesis as a key building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid functionality enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the development of complex heterocyclic compounds. Particularly valuable in drug discovery for constructing pyrazolopyridine scaffolds, which exhibit biological activity in kinase inhibition and central nervous system targets. Also employed in the synthesis of fluorescent probes and functional materials due to its stable heteroaromatic core and derivatization potential.
