Used primarily in cross-coupling reactions, this compound serves as a key reagent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group enables efficient Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, allowing the formation of carbon-carbon bonds under mild conditions. It is especially valuable in the preparation of substituted pyridine derivatives, which are common structural motifs in bioactive molecules and functional materials. The presence of methyl groups enhances steric and electronic properties, improving reaction selectivity and yield in complex synthetic pathways.
