Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity allows for the introduction of the 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzoyl group into larger molecules, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and medicinal compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of herbicides and fungicides due to the enhanced stability and bioavailability imparted by the halogenated aromatic structure. Also utilized in research settings for constructing complex organic molecules through amide and ester bond formation.
