Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, it plays a key role in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique structure, featuring both bromine and trifluoromethoxy groups, makes it valuable for introducing these functional groups into complex molecules. It is also employed in the development of specialty chemicals, particularly in the creation of compounds with enhanced biological activity or specific physical properties. Additionally, it finds use in research settings for studying reaction mechanisms and developing new synthetic methodologies.
