Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where halogenated aromatic compounds enhance biological activity. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in drug design, making it valuable in creating compounds with targeted therapeutic effects. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis for developing herbicides and fungicides due to its reactivity and stability in chemical transformations. The presence of both bromo and fluoro substituents enables cross-coupling reactions, useful in building complex molecules via palladium-catalyzed processes.
