Used primarily in pharmaceutical research and development, this compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure, featuring bromo and fluoro substituents, makes it valuable for creating molecules with specific biological activities, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis to introduce functional groups into complex molecules, aiding in the exploration of new chemical entities for therapeutic applications. Its methoxy group further enhances its utility in fine-tuning the pharmacokinetic properties of drug candidates.
