Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds where the bromo and fluoro substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions. Its methoxy group stabilizes the aromatic ring and directs electrophilic substitution, making it valuable in building complex molecules. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Ullmann couplings to form carbon-carbon bonds in drug discovery and materials science. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules and functionalized aromatic systems for research applications.
