Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of novel drug candidates and functional materials. The acetamido group enhances stability and can act as a directing group or participate in further derivatization. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-containing scaffolds found in kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents.
