Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its bromo and fluoro substituents allow selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in palladium-catalyzed reactions such as Suzuki and Heck couplings to form carbon-carbon bonds. Also utilized in the preparation of liquid crystals and functional materials where precise molecular architecture is required. Its stability and reactivity profile make it suitable for multi-step synthetic sequences in research and industrial settings.
