Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its bromo and fluoro substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules for medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of anti-inflammatory and central nervous system agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profile.
