Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its dual bromo and fluoro substituents make it valuable for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic structures. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules where fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in materials science for designing functionalized aromatic building blocks in liquid crystals and organic semiconductors.
