Used as a reagent in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between aromatic systems. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for constructing biaryl frameworks found in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. The trifluoroaborate group acts as a masked boronic acid, offering improved shelf life and handling compared to boronic acids while still participating efficiently in coupling reactions under mild conditions. Commonly applied in late-stage functionalization of complex molecules due to its tolerance of various functional groups.
