Used as a coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its stability and reactivity make it valuable for constructing carbon-carbon bonds in heteroaromatic systems. Commonly employed in the development of functional materials and bioactive compounds where a thiophene backbone with an aldehyde functionality is required. The trifluoroborate group enhances shelf life and handling compared to boronic acids, while still providing efficient coupling under mild conditions.
