Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of difluorocyclohexyl groups into aromatic and heteroaromatic systems. Its boronate ester functionality allows for efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated analogs of drug candidates. The presence of geminal difluorides enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability in bioactive molecules, supporting its use in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Commonly employed in late-stage functionalization to explore structure-activity relationships in lead optimization.
