Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic structures are required. Its bromo and ester functionalities allow for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved metabolic stability.
