Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, for constructing complex organic frameworks. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where fluorinated building blocks enhance stability, lipophilicity, or electronic properties. Commonly utilized in research settings for the design of novel compounds requiring selective substitution patterns on the benzene ring.
