Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic compounds, especially in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where fluorinated aromatics enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its bromine and fluorine substituents make it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex fluorinated molecules. Also employed in materials science for developing electron-transport materials in organic electronics, including OLEDs and liquid crystals, due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the perfluorinated ring system. Its high thermal and chemical stability supports use in specialty polymers and surface treatments requiring durability.
