Used primarily as a building block in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, this compound enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Its boronate ester group reacts with aryl or vinyl halides in the presence of a palladium catalyst, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The presence of bromine and trifluoromethyl groups allows for further functionalization and enhances the electronic properties of the target molecules. It is especially useful in the development of bioactive compounds where the trifluoromethylpyridine motif is required.
