Application
This boronic ester is primarily employed in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to synthesize biaryl compounds for pharmaceutical intermediates and functional materials. Its electron-withdrawing nitro group facilitates oxidative addition in palladium-catalyzed processes, while the pinacol ester moiety ensures improved handling stability compared to free boronic acids. Researchers utilize it to construct conjugated systems in OLED materials and bioactive molecules. The methoxy substituent offers additional site-specific modification opportunities in multi-step syntheses.
