Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The β-bromoethoxy group enables nucleophilic substitution reactions for introducing functionalized ether chains, while the 4-fluoro substituent on the aromatic ring facilitates selective modifications, such as potential cross-coupling or electrophilic aromatic substitution. This combination supports the construction of fluorinated organic molecules with improved metabolic stability and biological activity. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for developing bioactive compounds and fluorinated analogs.
