Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of protease inhibitors. Its boronic acid group enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing biaryl compounds for drug discovery. Also applied in the synthesis of fluorescent probes and sensors due to the reactivity of the dihydrothiazole and boronic acid functionalities. Shows potential in glucose sensing and enzyme inhibition studies.
