Used as a boronic ester reagent in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its trifluoromethylphenyl group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. The 5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane structure offers improved stability and reactivity compared to simple boronic acids, making it valuable in late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds and functional materials requiring fluorinated aromatic motifs.
