Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its halogenated aromatic structure. Its functional groups enable coupling reactions and derivatization for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for designing bioactive compounds where fluorine and bromine substituents enhance metabolic stability and binding selectivity. Also utilized in research for preparing fluorinated analogs in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
