Used primarily as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. It enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in the development of conjugated polymers and organic electronic materials. Commonly employed in the synthesis of conductive polymers due to the presence of the EDOT-like (ethylenedioxythiophene) moiety, which contributes to enhanced electronic properties. Also utilized in the preparation of organic semiconductors, OLEDs, and sensors. Its boronate ester group provides stability and reactivity under mild conditions, facilitating efficient coupling with aryl halides in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
