Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require halogenated aromatic structures. Its bromo and trifluoromethoxy functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Also utilized in the creation of novel pesticides due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethoxy group, which can enhance metabolic stability and lipophilicity in final active ingredients.
