Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its bromo and fluoro substituents enable selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex aromatic structures. Commonly employed in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to enhanced lipophilicity and bioactivity imparted by the halogen pattern. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents where fluorinated benzoate scaffolds improve metabolic stability and target binding.
