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 acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl or heteroaryl halides, facilitating the construction of complex pyridine-based structures. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other medicinal agents where the trifluoromethyl and isopropoxy groups contribute to metabolic stability and target binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of functional materials and ligands in catalysis.
