Used as a key intermediate in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex fluorinated biaryl compounds with high selectivity. Its boronic acid functionality allows for efficient carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions, making it valuable in pharmaceutical research for developing fluorinated drug candidates. The presence of both a fluorine atom and a butylcarbamoyl group enhances structural diversity and influences bioavailability in target molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of protease inhibitors and kinase modulators due to its ability to improve metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the development of functional materials where fluorinated aromatic systems are required for electronic or optical properties.
