This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. It serves as a key intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, enabling the introduction of trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridine moieties into complex molecules. Its boronic acid group facilitates the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in the development of bioactive compounds. Additionally, it is employed in material science for the synthesis of advanced organic materials with specific electronic or optical properties. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances the stability and lipophilicity of the resulting compounds, making it useful in drug design and development.
