Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of conjugated polymers and organic semiconductors. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in the development of organic electronic materials such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The dodecyl chain enhances solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-processing techniques essential for thin-film device fabrication. Commonly employed in research and development of printable electronics and flexible semiconducting devices.
