Used primarily as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, especially in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules for drug development. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds containing pyridine scaffolds. The carbamate functionality allows for further derivatization or protection strategies in multi-step synthetic routes. Widely utilized in medicinal chemistry research for lead optimization and library synthesis in the discovery of new therapeutic agents.
