Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of biologically active pyridine derivatives. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other drug candidates where fluorinated and methylated pyridine scaffolds enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also applied in materials science for constructing conjugated systems in organic electronics.
