Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its boronate ester group facilitates efficient coupling with aryl halides under palladium catalysis, making it valuable in drug discovery and development of functional materials. The 2-chloro-5-fluorophenyl substituent enhances solubility and biological target binding properties. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization due to its stability and reactivity profile.
