Used in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as a protected boronic ester for synthesizing biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The Boc-protected phenol group allows for selective deprotection under mild acidic conditions, enabling sequential coupling strategies in complex molecule assembly. Commonly applied in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where controlled reactivity and functional group compatibility are essential. Also utilized in materials science for constructing conjugated organic frameworks with tailored electronic properties.
