Used as a coupling agent in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Hiyama coupling, where it facilitates the formation of carbon-silicon bonds. Its reactivity with palladium catalysts makes it valuable in constructing biaryl compounds, which are important in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. The compound serves as a masked nucleophile, offering chemoselectivity in multi-step syntheses. It is also employed in the development of functionalized silanes for use in surface modification and polymer chemistry.
