Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex pyridine-based structures found in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group facilitates efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in drug discovery and development of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where substituted pyridines enhance target selectivity and metabolic stability.
