Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to construct biaryl compounds which are key structural motifs in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions. The cyanocyclopentyl substituent adds steric bulk and electronic influence, making it useful in drug discovery for tuning molecular properties. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules and functional materials where precise molecular architecture is required.
