Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic compounds enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its bromo and fluoro substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules in drug discovery. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and fungicides due to the enhanced lipophilicity and environmental persistence provided by halogen atoms. Suitable for use in Suzuki and other palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to build biaryl structures.
