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. The fluorine and methylsulfonyl substituents enhance reactivity and direct regioselectivity in coupling processes, allowing precise construction of complex molecules. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents.
