Used in organic synthesis as a key intermediate for the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a role in the creation of compounds with potential biological activities, such as antimicrobial or antifungal agents. The presence of bromo and fluoro substituents enhances its reactivity, making it valuable for constructing complex molecules in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic aldehyde structure. Its versatility in cross-coupling reactions also makes it useful in material science for designing advanced organic materials.
