Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal chemistry. The presence of chlorine and trifluoromethyl groups enhances reactivity and influences the electronic properties of the final molecules, aiding in the optimization of biological activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules.
