Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated and brominated aromatic drugs. Its functional groups enable selective modifications for building complex molecules in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and bioactive heterocycles due to the presence of reactive amino, bromo, and hydroxyl sites. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel fluorophenyl-based compounds with potential antitumor and anti-inflammatory activities.
