Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl frameworks found in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronic acid group enables carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable for drug discovery and development. The electron-withdrawing fluoro substituents and ethoxy group influence reactivity and can enhance selectivity in coupling processes. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules and functional materials requiring specific electronic and steric properties.
