Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. The presence of the trifluoromethyl and piperidine groups enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability, which are favorable traits in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization to introduce complex aromatic fragments into target molecules.
