Used in organic synthesis as a versatile intermediate for the preparation of various pharmaceutical compounds. It is particularly valuable in the development of molecules with potential therapeutic effects, such as CNS (central nervous system) drugs, due to its ability to introduce fluorine and methoxy groups into target structures. The bromine atom facilitates further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of complex chemical architectures. Its application extends to the synthesis of agrochemicals and materials science, where it contributes to the development of novel compounds with specific properties.
