Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its reactivity allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in creating complex molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions to build biaryl structures. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes, functional materials, and specialty chemicals where the combination of bromo, fluoro, and nitro groups enables stepwise functionalization.
