Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active ingredients in crop protection products. Its structure enables selective reactivity, making it valuable in forming carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds during drug discovery. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Negishi couplings to build complex molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity.
