Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its bromo and fluoro functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in Suzuki and other palladium-catalyzed reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules where the diethoxy and fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and target binding.
