Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex fluorinated biaryl compounds with high selectivity. Its boronic ester group provides enhanced stability and reactivity, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for constructing fluorinated aromatic frameworks. The aldehyde functionality allows further derivatization, such as condensation or reduction, facilitating the development of multifunctional molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds and functional materials where fluorine substitution influences metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
