Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct carbon-carbon bonds. It serves as a key building block in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where the pyridine ring system is a common structural motif. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl or vinyl halides under palladium catalysis, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating complex heterocyclic compounds. Also applied in materials science for designing functional organic molecules with electronic properties.
