Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active ingredients in crop protection products. Its structure supports the creation of complex molecules with enhanced biological activity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Negishi couplings to build biaryl systems in drug discovery. Also utilized in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds due to the presence of bromine and electron-withdrawing trifluoromethoxy group, which facilitate selective functionalization.
