Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in the production of fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds. Its halogenated structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic frameworks. Commonly employed in the development of central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds due to its ability to modulate biological activity when incorporated into larger drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with enhanced stability and target specificity.
