Used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its unique structure, featuring both bromine and fluorine substituents, makes it valuable for developing compounds with potential therapeutic properties. It is particularly relevant in the creation of drugs targeting specific enzymes or receptors, where the presence of halogens enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules in medicinal chemistry research.
