Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in multi-step reactions, particularly in the development of fluorinated bioactive compounds. The presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents enables cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapeutic agents. Also utilized in research settings to introduce fluorinated aryl motifs into larger molecules, enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity.
