Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, to create complex organic compounds. Its boronic acid group facilitates the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in pharmaceutical research for developing drug candidates. The ethoxymethyl and fluorine substituents enhance its reactivity and selectivity, aiding in the synthesis of fluorinated aromatic compounds, which are often used in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it serves as a building block in materials science for designing advanced polymers and functional materials.
