Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other central nervous system agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents, which allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules and agrochemicals where aromatic halogenated amides enhance stability and target specificity. Its structure supports derivatization for use in drug discovery and development processes.
