Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the synthesis of biaryl compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It is also employed in the preparation of organic electronic materials, such as OLEDs and organic semiconductors, due to its stability and reactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the development of sensors and probes for detecting biological molecules. Its fluorine substituent enhances its utility in creating compounds with specific electronic and steric properties.
