Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, particularly in the development of trifluoromethyl-substituted heteroaromatic compounds, which are valuable in drug discovery due to enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based scaffolds found in bioactive molecules.
