Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules requiring specific substitution patterns. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds where fluorine and bromine atoms influence metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in materials science for creating functionalized aromatic systems in electronic or optical materials.
