Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, to create complex aromatic compounds. Its unique substitution pattern (bromo, ethoxy, and fluoro groups) makes it suitable for designing molecules with specific electronic and steric properties. It can also serve as a building block in the development of liquid crystals or materials for organic electronics.
