Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. It is also employed in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules, especially those requiring halogenated aromatic structures. Its bromo and fluoro substituents make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modifying drug properties like bioavailability and metabolic stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides or herbicides.
