Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in organic reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where halogenated aromatics enhance stability and reactivity.
