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 carboxylic acid functionality enables amide bond formation, making it valuable in constructing biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and fungicides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
