This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly as a building block for the development of more complex compounds. Its unique structure, featuring both bromine and fluorine substituents, makes it a valuable intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The bromine atom allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, while the fluorine atom can enhance the biological activity of the final product. Additionally, it is utilized in material science for the synthesis of specialty polymers and liquid crystals, where its aromatic core and halogen substituents contribute to desired electronic and structural properties.
