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 allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the development of complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds and intermediates where fluorine and boron groups enhance reactivity and binding properties. Also utilized in materials science for creating functionalized aromatic systems in electronic or optical materials.
