Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its bromo and trifluoromethoxy functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and in medicinal chemistry for constructing aromatic frameworks. Also utilized in materials science for designing specialty fluorinated polymers and liquid crystals.
