Used primarily in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound contains a boronate ester group, making it suitable for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, which are widely employed in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The dihydropyridine moiety can act as a masked pyridine, allowing for further functionalization or reduction to afford saturated heterocycles found in bioactive molecules. The tert-butyl ester group provides stability and can be easily deprotected to yield carboxylic acid derivatives. Its structure is particularly valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential activity in drug discovery programs.
