This compound is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions like the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Its boronic acid group enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in the production of complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The deuterated isobutyl group (d9) enhances its utility in research involving isotopic labeling, which is crucial for studying metabolic pathways and drug mechanisms. Additionally, its pyridine core structure contributes to its role in designing ligands for catalysis and materials science applications.
