Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in reactions where a bromoalkyl linker is needed to attach fluorinated aromatic systems to other molecular fragments. Frequently found in the development of bioactive compounds, including potential drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty chemicals for research and development in medicinal chemistry.
