Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in coupling reactions, especially in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling processes used in drug discovery. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty organic compounds where selective substitution patterns are required for biological activity. The presence of both bromo and fluoro groups allows for sequential functionalization, enabling precise molecular engineering in complex syntheses.
