Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its boronic acid group enables efficient coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in the development of complex organic molecules. Commonly applied in the preparation of biologically active compounds, including potential drug candidates and functional materials. The presence of chlorine and isobutoxy groups provides sites for further chemical modification, enhancing its versatility in synthetic pathways.
