Used as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, where the trimethylsilyl group can be selectively transformed or removed to enable the formation of complex biaryl structures. Its stability and reactivity profile make it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The silyl group also acts as a directing or protecting group in certain synthetic pathways, allowing for regioselective functionalization. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of liquid crystals, organic semiconductors, and ligands for catalysis.
