Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require halogenated aromatic scaffolds. Its structure allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in the creation of novel pesticides due to the presence of trifluoromethoxy and bromo groups, which can enhance lipophilicity and metabolic stability.
