Used primarily in organic synthesis as a building block for cross-coupling reactions, especially in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. This compound enables the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, making it valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Its halogen and trifluoromethyl substituents provide sites for further functionalization, allowing fine-tuning of molecular properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing biaryl systems found in bioactive molecules. Also useful in the synthesis of fluorinated compounds, where the fluorine atom enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
