Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its bromo and fluoro substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorine substitution improves metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also utilized in the manufacture of specialty chemicals and liquid crystals due to its structural properties.
