Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in reactions where selective substitution on an aromatic ring is required. Its combination of bromo, fluoro, and nitro groups allows for sequential functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, or reductions. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products and in the preparation of fluorinated drug candidates. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups enhances its reactivity in metal-catalyzed transformations, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
