Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure contains multiple reactive sites, including bromo, fluoro, nitro, and trifluoromethyl groups, making it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and in medicinal chemistry for building complex aromatic frameworks. The presence of both bromo and nitro groups allows for sequential functionalization, enabling selective modifications in multi-step syntheses.
