Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery and development of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where the methoxy-methylpyridine scaffold is required. Also utilized in the construction of complex heterocyclic systems in medicinal chemistry research.
