Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its pyridine-boronic structure enables selective formation of biaryl compounds, especially in drug discovery where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are common. Frequently employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to its ability to enhance binding affinity and metabolic stability. Also applied in the preparation of functional materials such as organic semiconductors and sensors.
