4-Fluoro-3-formylphenylboronic acid
4-Fluoro-3-formylphenylboronic acid (CAS: 374538-01-9; Formula: C7H6BFO3; MW: 167.93) is a functionalised aryl boronic acid and an organic building block. It serves as a versatile reactant in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions. This compound is employed in the preparation of complex molecules, including potential pharmaceutical intermediates and biologically active compounds, utilising its aldehyde and boronic acid functionalities for further chemical elaboration.

Preparation of Arylmethylpyrrolidinylmethanols
Utilised as a reactant in the preparation of arylmethylpyrrolidinylmethanols and their amine derivatives. This involves initial reaction with MIDA followed by a Suzuki coupling with halides or amination with amines.
Synthesis of MMP-12 Inhibitors
Applied in the synthesis of N-(biarylsulfonyl) $\alpha$-amino acids, which are investigated as matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) inhibitors. This process can be guided by genetic algorithms.
Regioselective Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling
Serves as a precursor for para-substituted formylarylboronic esters. These esters are used in regioselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, for example, with bromobenzene.
