Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in aromatic ring systems, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated organic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of bioactive molecules where the combination of bromo, fluoro, and methoxy groups enhances metabolic stability and target binding affinity.
