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 synthesis of bioactive compounds where fluorine and halogen substituents enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in materials science for constructing functionalized aromatic systems in electronic materials.
