Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in reactions where selective functionalization of aromatic rings is required. Its halogen groups allow for cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck couplings, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. The presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents offers orthogonal reactivity, making it valuable in stepwise synthetic strategies. Additionally, the methoxymethyl group can act as a protecting group or be modified to introduce further functionality in advanced intermediates.
