Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable for constructing biaryl compounds. The methanesulfonyl and methyl substituents enhance reactivity and direct regioselectivity during coupling, useful in synthesizing complex aromatic structures. Commonly applied in medicinal chemistry for creating drug candidates with targeted biological activity.
