Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of bromo and fluoro substituents, enabling the formation of C–C and C–heteroatom bonds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with improved metabolic stability and target specificity.
