Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated and brominated heterocyclic compounds. The bromo and fluoro substituents enable cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the introduction of various pharmacophores. It is also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
