Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromo and trifluoroethanol functional groups, which enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to build complex aromatic frameworks in drug discovery. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved environmental stability and efficacy.
