Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its nitro and bromo functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in nucleophilic aromatic substitution and palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to introduce fluorinated aromatic scaffolds into target compounds. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where fluorine substitution enhances stability and electronic properties.
