Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with potential therapeutic effects. Its structure, featuring both bromo and fluoro substituents, makes it valuable in creating compounds with enhanced biological activity and metabolic stability. Applied in organic synthesis to introduce difluoroacetate groups into complex molecules, aiding in the study of structure-activity relationships (SAR) in drug discovery. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals, where its unique properties contribute to the development of pesticides or herbicides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
