This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds and agrochemicals. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target various diseases. Its structure, featuring a bromomethyl group and difluoro substitution, makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules in drug discovery. Additionally, it is employed in the development of herbicides and pesticides, contributing to crop protection and agricultural efficiency. Its reactivity allows for versatile applications in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions and functional group transformations.
