Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of fluorinated analogs of bioactive molecules. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modifying peptide properties or enhancing metabolic stability. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, especially in designing enzyme inhibitors or receptor ligands. The presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, facilitating further functionalization in complex molecule assembly.
