Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its boronate ester group facilitates efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in the development of new bioactive compounds and functional materials. The difluoromethoxy and styryl groups contribute to enhanced lipophilicity and electronic properties, beneficial in drug design for improved metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
