Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its styrylboronate structure allows for efficient carbon-carbon bond formation with aryl or vinyl halides under palladium catalysis. The trifluoromethyl-substituted aromatic group enhances electronic and metabolic stability, making it valuable in the development of bioactive compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated analogs for drug discovery and materials science applications.
