Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug design. Commonly applied in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where fluorine substitution improves pharmacokinetic properties. Also employed in materials science for creating fluorinated organic semiconductors and sensors due to its electron-withdrawing characteristics and boron-based reactivity.
