Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in multi-step reactions, making it valuable in creating active ingredients for crop protection products. It is also employed in research settings for the preparation of novel fluorinated aromatic compounds with potential biological activity. The presence of both bromo and nitro groups enables cross-coupling reactions and subsequent transformations, enhancing its utility in medicinal chemistry and materials science.
