Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of more complex chemical compounds. It is particularly valuable in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to the presence of both bromine and trifluoromethyl groups, which can enhance biological activity. Additionally, it finds application in agrochemical research for the synthesis of novel pesticides and herbicides. The compound's reactivity makes it suitable for cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of diverse chemical structures for research and industrial purposes.
