Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to the presence of reactive halogen atoms that enable further functionalization. The ester group facilitates coupling reactions in organic synthesis, making it valuable in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its fluorinated and brominated structure enhances binding selectivity in bioactive molecules, often exploited in crop protection research and medicinal chemistry for designing novel compounds with improved metabolic stability and potency.
