Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of advanced agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its highly substituted aromatic structure makes it suitable for use in bromination and nitration reactions where selective functionalization is required. It also finds application in the development of specialty dyes and pigments due to its electron-deficient aromatic system and halogen-rich framework. Additionally, it has been explored in research settings for its potential in flame-retardant materials, leveraging the synergistic effect of bromine and trifluoromethyl groups.
