Used as an intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of sulfone-containing biaryl compounds. Its boronate ester group enables efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under palladium catalysis, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for constructing complex organic molecules. The piperidine sulfone moiety can enhance metabolic stability and influence pharmacokinetic properties in drug design. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to its compatibility with various functional groups.
