Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective binding in biological systems, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura to build complex molecules. Also utilized in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and pesticides due to its stability and reactivity. The bromo and fluoro substituents enable sequential functionalization, offering flexibility in synthetic pathways.
