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 halogenated aryl structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the development of complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds where fluorine and boron-containing motifs are needed for enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in materials science for designing novel organic semiconductors and functional polymers.
