Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in drug molecules, especially in central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. The bromoethoxy group serves as a versatile handle for coupling reactions in medicinal chemistry, enabling the introduction of the fluorobenzene moiety into larger, biologically active structures. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved environmental persistence and target specificity.
