Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck reactions, for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in the creation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorine and bromine substituents enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the research and development of new functional materials and specialty chemicals.
