Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with potential therapeutic properties. It plays a role in organic synthesis, especially in the construction of complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions. Its bromo and fluoro substituents make it valuable for introducing specific functional groups into target compounds. Additionally, it is utilized in agrochemical research for the development of novel pesticides or herbicides. Its ester group allows for further chemical modifications, making it versatile in various industrial applications.
