Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with potential biological activity. Its isothiocyanate group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules where bromo and fluoro substituents enhance stability and target binding. Also utilized as a derivatizing agent in analytical chemistry to detect and quantify compounds containing nucleophilic functional groups.
