Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates where the bromo and fluoro substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions. Its amide functionality enables further derivatization for building biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the presence of halogen atoms that can influence metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy.
