Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to the presence of reactive bromine and difluoroalkyl groups. Its structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive compounds where fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity. Also utilized in materials science for designing specialty monomers and functionalized polymers with unique electronic properties.
